Verse

1)

[G/f#]

I like your twisted point of view, Mike

I like your questioning eyebrows

[G/f#]

You've made it pretty clear what you like

It's only fair to tell you now

Verse

2)

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

Chorus

[G/f#]

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

[G/f#]

I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand

[G/f#]

Home was anywhere with diesel gas - Love was a trucker's hand

[G/f#]

Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand

Before you kiss me you should know

Papa was a rodeo

Verse

1)

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

Verse

2)

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

Verse

2)

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

Chorus

[G/f#]

Papa was a rodeo

Outro

What a coincidence, your Papa was a rodeo too.
