The Rodeo

Just once more before I have to go take me out, to the old-time Rodeo. I want to see them Cowboys ridin' high, buckin' broncs kickin' up to the sky; bulls and clowns dancin' each other around; barrel racers and calf chasers; horses fast and free now that's what I need to see; so please, take me down to the Rodeo once more before I must go. I wanna smell the leather, dirt and cattle, hear the announcer yell 'Yeee-haaa! ' when horses and Cowboys do battle; see the old-boys bowlegged in boots, vests and Stetson hats, watch them pretty cowgirls stroll by in tight Wranglers and leather chaps; oh dear Lord, won't ya hear my soulful cry: let me stand one more time upon them Rodeo grounds underneath that big beautiful Western sky... Take me down to the Rodeo just once more before I go - take me there before I must fly, out to the old Rodeo one last time, before I die.
