lyrics

get on your boots on, we're all going down
on a ride to the old side of town
follow the smell and the ferris wheel lights
you can meet all the best folks at the stockyard tonight
won't the children be cheering, won't the mothers be crying
it's the best show in town since christians and lions
there's something eternal about romance and violence
and who are we darling to say that ain't fine?

it's trail dust, brain damage, and cold draft beer
standing tall with a hat full of fear
god save the rodeo rider

on a busted up county fairground
we're a small congregation but proud
it's family reunion on a Saturday night
a place where the lessons of life turn out right
be good to your mama, don't spit on the table
stop and give thanks as much as you're able
leave cussing and whiskey for cleaning the stable
and don't trust a horse when he's out for your blood

it's trail dust, brain damage, and cold draft beer
standing tall with a hat full of fear
god save the rodeo rider

there's a hitch to the way he walks in
he's back on the circuit again
his heart's in the ring, he's passed up his prime
lord knows being cowboys don't pay overtime
his ribs have all healed and his blood stopped leaking
he's a father of five with a plain way of speaking
a volunteer fireman and a methodist deacon
with an eight second outlook on the mystery of life

it's trail dust, brain damage, and cold draft beer
standing tall with a hat full of fear
god save the rodeo rider
