Rodeo Queen - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

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

And baby bye, I'll tell you right

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
