Little Red Rodeo
|
|
Well a note said: "You've had time to think about it.
|
Looks like to me you're feelin' kinda crowded.
|
You're not looking for anything permanent here,
|
so my Rodeo is packed and it's in 'goodbye gear.' "
|
|
So I shot down to the Longhorn Diner,
|
her sister works there and she'd know where to find her.
|
She said, "You did not hear this from me,
|
all I'll say is momma's got that place out in Monterrey."
|
|
Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little, red Rodeo.
|
She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know.
|
Need the girl in that little, red Rodeo.
|
Texas plates, candy-apple red Rodeo.
|
|
Two towns back I showed your photograph
|
and the gas-station man just started to laugh.
|
"She said I might see you in this old bucket o' rust,
|
and said 'Good luck boy.' Just follow that cloud o' dust."
|
|
Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little, red Rodeo.
|
She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know.
|
Need the girl in that little, red Rodeo.
|
Texas plates, candy-apple red Rodeo.
|
|
Maybe I was straddlin' the fence just like she said...
|
It took her leaving just to get it through my head.
|
|
She's the one and only, it's over that's it.
|
I'm commited, I'm in love, and I'm desperate.
|
She's a good ways gone, but I'm closin' the gap,
|
if I have to I'll chase her clear across the map.
|
|
Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little, red Rodeo.
|
She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know.
|
Need the girl in that little, red Rodeo.
|
Texas plates, candy-apple red Rodeo.
|
|
Yeah, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little, red Rodeo.
|
She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know.
|
Need the girl in that little, red Rodeo.
|
Texas plates, candy-apple red Rodeo.
|
|
Yeah, now, how fast can I go.
