Papa Was A Rodeo Lyrics

Papa Was A Rodeo lyrics

I like your twisted point of view, Mike  
I like your questioning eyebrows

You've made it pretty clear what you like 
It's only fair to tell you
now  

that I leave early in the morning 
and I won't be back till
next year  
I see that kiss-me pucker forming  
but maybe you should plug
it with a beer, cause 

Papa was a rodeo - Mama was a rock'n'roll band 

I could play a guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand  
Home
was anywhere with diesel gas - Love was a trucker's hand  
Never stuck
around long enough for a one night stand 
Before you kiss me you should know

Papa was a rodeo 

The light reflecting off the mirror ball 
looks
like a thousand swirling eyes 
They make me think I shouldn't be here at all

You know, every minute someone dies 

What are we doing in this dive
bar 
How can you live in a place like this 
Why don't you just get into
my car 
and I'll take you away I'll take that kiss now, but 

(boy)
Papa was a rodeo... 

And now it's 55 years later 
We've had the
romance of the century 
After all these years wrestling gators 
I still
feel like crying when I think of what you said to me 

Papa was a
rodeo... 

Before you kiss me you should know - Papa was a rodeo 

What a coincidence, your Papa was a rodeo too
