This Circus

You pulled up in that limousine

Said cowboy let me take you for a rid

It was obvious to me I was something new

That you had never tried

So I gathered up my saddle took my hat off

And I dusted off my cloths

And crawled into the backseat

Of this circus that you call a rodeo

I spent a week in heaven

Making love and drinking beer out by the pool

Every night a different party I was fitting in

With all those other fools

But too much of a good thing

Ain't no good thing as a cowboy oughta know

The difference in a real thing

And this circus that you call a rodeo

You said ride cowboy ride

We're bullet proof and almost 10 feet tall

I said maybe you are but I'm whipped

And I can't hardly even ride at all

Ain't there any letting go

In this circus that you call a rodeo

I've done a lot of crazy things

This may not be the worst but it comes close

I've busted bulls and they've busted me and I've paid

The price for everything I’ve rode

And it breaks my heart to tell you

But I'm leaving this old dog and pony show

I've had all that I can handle

In this circus that you call a rodeo
