THIS IS RODEO

 

By Nancy Roché and Tom Frazee

Written for the National Finals Rodeo

 

When the gate swings open

I’m hopin’ for a helluva ride.

A great eight seconds

Somethin’ close to suicide.

I guess I’m ready to go

 

Ring the bell, start the show

Get ‘em up! (come on boys)

THIS IS RODEO!

 

When the buzzer sounds 

I’ll be ridin’ right on top

With a whole lotta skill

And a little bit of luck

I know I’m ready to go

 

Ring the bell, start the show

Get ‘em up! (come on boys)

THIS IS RODEO!

 

And I’m fallin’ down on my

ASK me if it hurts like

HELLO, yes I’m feelin’ fine.

Gonna dust my self off

Hold my head up

Show a little cowboy pride.

 

Well I’m black and blue 

From my hat down to my boots

Let me do it again

I’ve got nothin’ left to lose.

 

I’m rough ‘n ready to go

Ring the bell, start the show

Get ‘em up! (come on boys)

THIS IS RODEO!

(2X) 

 

Breakdown***

 

Yes I’m rough ‘n ready to go

Ring the bell, start the show … THIS IS RODEO!
