Intro
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 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,
Papa was a rodeo - Mama was a rock'n'roll band,
I could play 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.
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 - Mama was a rock'n'roll band,
I could play 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.
What a coincidence, your Papa was a rodeo too.
