Rodeo Song
View chords used in this chart
C Dm
Called last night from Santa Fe
G C
Said there's been a change in plans
Dm
I did my best to explain
G C
And I sure hope you'll understand
I got the money that you wired
And I know that I should leave
But there's a show in Angel Fire
And I've already paid my fees
[Refrão] F G C
And I'm old enough to know better
F G C
But I just can't seem to turn and walk away
F G C Am
So I keep laying it on the line, one ride at a time
F G C
Hopin' that the next one'll pay
Remember Sam from Jackson Hole
Well he turned out his bull last night
Said he was feelin' kinda old
And he'd lost the nerve to ride
He said there's things that you can't change
No matter how you try
And there's nothing like the pain
When you watch an old dream die
(repeat chorus)
