Rivermaya Rodeo Lyrics

Rodeo Lyrics

Rhinestone kid on a freeway star

An '87 pickup and a red guitar

Playin' like an angel with a broken wing

A song of true love for his
girl Darlene



They haven't seen each other for a year or so

Man, he misses her like we all miss that TV show

Where he first
performed that love song 'bout a year ago

Well, if ya haven't heard it
yet then this is how it goes...



RO-DE-O-uh-oh-oh-oh

Like the
buffalos do it by the wishing well

'Cause they haven't got no money for a
cheap motel

RO-DE-O-uh-oh-oh-oh

What sweeter thing could happen to
a boy an' a girl?

We gotta do it like mechanical rabbits from hell,
yeah



It was the sweetest song playin' on the radio

From the
edge of Alabama down to Mexico

It was a number one hit but Darlene didn't
know

Whom her fav'rite song was fo'



But everytime she hears
it, her heart, like a gong

Would tremble for the man for whom she
longs

...For whom she longs...

And 'en she starts to sing
along...



RO-DE-O-uh-oh-oh-oh

We gotta do it for a reason,
gotta do it for fun

We gotta sparkle like tequila in the hot...hot sun,
yeah!

RO-DE-O-uh-oh-oh-oh

We gotta do it like Sinatra used to do
"My Way"

An' in the background there's that Beck dude singin' Odelay
