C
You pulled up in that limousine 
     F                            C
Said cowboy let me take you for a ride
                           F
It was obvious to me I was something new 
                   C
That you had never tried

     F
So I gathered up my saddle took my hat off 
                    C     Am
And I dusted off my cloths
    F
And crawled into the backseat 
        G7                     C
Of this circus that you call a rodeo 


I spent a week in heaven 
F                                        C
Making love and drinking beer out by the pool
                                    F
Every night a different party I was fitting in
                     C
With all those other fools

    F
But too much of a good thing 
                                       C    Am
Ain't no good thing as a cowboy oughta know
    F
The difference in a real thing 
         G7                     C
And this circus that you call a rodeo

    F
You said ride cowboy ride 
                                      C
We're bullet proof and almost 10 feet tall
       F
I said maybe you are but I'm whipped 
                                C   Am
And I can't hardly even ride at all 
      F
Ain't there any letting go 
        G7                     C
In this circus that you call a rodeo


I've done a lot of crazy things 
     F                                 C
This may not be the worst but it comes close
                                            F
I've busted bulls and they've busted me and I've paid 
                              C
The price for everything I’ve rode

       F
And it breaks my heart to tell you 
                                      C    Am
But I'm leaving this old dog and pony show
     F
I've had all that I can handle 
        G7                     C
In this circus that you call a rodeo

Repeat #5

      F
Ain't there any letting go 
        G7                     C
In this circus that you call a rodeo
