Rodeo Queen Lyrics

We pull into town, try to find the fairgrounds
Park this Cadillac out back, behind the loading chutes
Finally made the big show, traveling with the rodeo
I'm one of the boys that make sure nobody pays with their
Life ain't easy for a joker like me
I've got a smile painted on my face
It's only make believe

She's got me where she wants me
Got me blinking when they cover the gate
I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt
'Cause 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 riding
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 bull starts spinning
When the bull starts spinning
When the bull starts spinning

She's got me where she wants me
Got me blinking when they cover the gate
I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
I'm in love with the rodeo queen
A clown in love with the rodeo queen

And [?]
I might work up the nerve to tell her right
I ain't just some fool in a barrel no
There's a real heart beating underneath my
Over-sized wranglers, yellow suspenders
I might look like it but I ain't a pretender
No no
I gotta tell her, gotta tell her
Gotta tell her that

She's got me where she wants me
Got me blinking when they cover the gate
I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt
'Cause I'm not thinking straight

She's got me where she wants me
Got me blinking when they cover the gate
I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
I'm in love with the rodeo queen
A clown in love with the rodeo queen
