[Verse 1]

You're in a city of ghosts

You hide by the fire from the cold

Under a starless sky tonight

And now you're riding alone

You're caught by your heart and your soul

With a dream and a gun by your side

[Chorus]

Whoa

You ride around and around in the rodeo

Whoa

[Verse 2]

They find you guilty again

The marshal can't make up his mind

And the hangman waits in the rain again

The wind is calling your name

And just when you think it's the end

She rides in

To the rescue again

[Chorus]

Whoa

You ride around like a clown in the rodeo

Whoa

You end up down in the dirt, life's a rodeo

Whoa

Whoa

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

It feels like hell

But it's gonna get better

It feels like hell

But it's gonna get better

It feels like hell

But it always gets better!

[Chorus]

Whoa

You ride around and around in the rodeo

Whoa

Get up off the ground, life's a rodeo

Whoa

Whoa

Yeah, yeah, yeah
