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 (boy) 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
