Chris Ledoux Fourth Of July Rodeos Lyrics

Fourth Of July Rodeos Lyrics

Just about two hundred years ago they signed that declaration



Tellin' everybody in the whole wide world they're gonna start a brand new
nation



From that day on the 4th of July has been a holiday



To the rich man poor man and everybody but the cowboys in the RCA



Well I get on the phone and call the airlines rent-a-cars and Greyhound
stations



Cause I've entered bout thirteen rodeos out across the great big nation



Got the car tuned up the tanks full of gas I've got money in my hand



And if I ain't overdrawn by the end of the week at the bank I'm a lucky man



It's the 4th of July on the rodeo trail and it'll drive you insane



My wife's worried home by the telephone I'm on the road again 



It's the Forth of July on the rodeo trail if I ever make it home I swear



I'm gonna to hang up my hat put up my riggin' sack



And for a month I'm gonna stay right there



[ guitar ]



Well I've been on the road about three days now and I haven't had a minutes
rest



There's dark circles all around my bloodshot eyes and my face is now a
whiskered mess



Boy I'd sure like a bath and a home cooked mean but for now I must be
satisfied



With this double super-duper half cooked burger



And a side of grease soaked french fries



Well the week's nearly over and I wonder to myself will I ever make it home
alive



When a bronc fell on me up in Calgary when he slipped tryin' to make his high
dive



And the plane and the pilot that we rented looked like surplus from World War
I



And I thought any times about suicide but I haven't found myself a gun



It's the 4th of July on the rodeo trail...
