papa was a rodeo

Singer: magnetic fields, the

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. 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
