Song: Rodeo Blues
Writer/Performer: Red Stegall
Album: For All Our Cowboy Friends
[D] I got to gather up my tack
finish [G] runnin off the slack
There's [D] another rodeo tommorrow [A] night
It's five[D]hundred miles from here
I got [G] time for one short beer
[D] Lord I hope some [A] fool don't start a [D] fight
[D] A pretty girl gave me a glance
I wish I's [G] stayin for the dance
But I [D] guess I better head her on down the [A] road
There's a [D] truck stop down the line
Guess that [G] I could spare the time
For some [D] coffee and some [A] pie ala [D] mode
CHORUS
N.C. I got those [D] ro-o-deo just [G] one more show
And [D] then I'm gonna quit tommorrow [A] blues
[D] Turn out fines and [G] little white lines
Ican't [D] even pay my [A] association [D] dues
I been drawin' up real bad
Missed the good ones I've had
And about the timeI think It's all down pat
The announcer says plus ten
You broke the barrier again
And they don't write no checks for fifteen flat.
But if I can just hang on
Till Ft. Worth and San Antone
Well I'm bound to throw one down and make some time
I'll have money in my jeans
To spend on pretty dance hall queens
Cigarettes and skoal and apple wine.
