Well first you gotta wanna get off
    C                                 G
Bad enough to wanna get on him in the first place
    C
And you better trust in your lady luck
    C                                 G
Pray to God that she don't give up on you right now

    C
Live fast
    G
Die young

One hand hold is all you got
    C                                         G
It's you and the bull against the clock and a cross crowd
    C
And just upon a spinnin' ton
    C                             G
Nothin' else you've ever done can pull this way

       C
You're just outside the buckin' shoot
       C                               G
Lose a spur you lose your seat and you lose yourself
    C
By now he's buckin' mean and dirty
      C                           G
Slingin' mud and cowboy boots and kickin' clowns

  C
No fools
  G
No fun

You gotta feel the way he's movin'
          D
You gotta watch his head
          C
And brace yourself for anything that a friend of you might dead

      D
You know the art of hangin' loose hangin' just as tight
      C                                                  D
Well there's something like a hurricane dancin' with the kite

    C
Live fast
    G
Die young

      C
Well the rodeo is more than rough
      C                                    G
It's a fact of life it's tough to cut his fever ass

     C
It's drinkin' beer and pullin' trailers
     C                                G
Tighten may on barreled razors and horse's buck

   C
No fools
   G
No fun
