We pull into town try to find the fairgrounds Park this Cadillac out back behind the loading shoots Finally made the big show traveling with the rodeo I'm one of the boys that makes sure nobody pays with their Life ain't easy for a joker like me I got a smile painted on my face it's only make believe She's got me where she wants me Got me blinkin' when they call for the gate I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt case I'm not thinking straight I'm in love with the rodeo queen A clown in love with the rodeo queen Every night the crowd goes wild when they see her ridin' Shining like a diamond she don't even know my name I try to turn my feelings off before they load the roughstock Gotta get my stuff together take a shot and forget how much Time stands still when the bulls starts spinning When the bull starts spinning, when the bull starts spinning She's got me where she wants me Got me blinkin' when they call for the gate I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt case I'm not thinking straight I'm in love with the rodeo queen A clown in love with the rodeo queen And maybe by Telluride I might work up the nerve to tell her I Ain't just some fool in a barrel no There's a real heart beating underneath my Oversized Wranglers yellow suspenders I might look like it but I ain't a pretender No, no I gotta tell her, I gotta tell her, gotta tell her that She's got me where she wants me Got me blinkin' when they call for the gate I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt case I'm not thinking straight She's got me where she wants me Got me blinkin' when they call for the gate I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt case I'm not thinking straight I'm in love with the rodeo queen A clown in love with the rodeo queen
