Intro - Cadd9 and C
Verse 1 -
C Em F G I like your twisted point of view, Mike C Em F G I like your questioning eyebrows
C Em
F G You've made it pretty clear what you like C Em F G It's only fair to tell you now Am Dm that I leave early in the morning Am Dm and I won't be back till next year Am Dm I see that kiss-me pucker forming Am Dm Dsus4 but maybe you should plug it with a beer, 'cause
Chorus -
C G Papa was a rodeo F G Mama was a rock'n'roll band C G I could play guitar and rope a steer F G before I learned to stand C G Home was anywhere with diesel gas F G Love was a trucker's hand C G Never stuck around long enough F G for a one-night stand. Am Dm Before you kiss me you should know Am Cadd9 Papa was a rodeo
Verse 2 -
The light reflecting off the mirror ball
looks like a thousand swirling eyes
They make me think I shouldn't be here at all
You know, every minute someone dies
What are we doing in this dive bar?
How can you live in a place like this?
Why don't you just get into my car
And I'll take you away
I'll take that kiss now, but
Chorus -
Papa was a rodeo
Mama was a rock'n'roll band
I could play guitar and rope a steer
before I learned to stand
Home was anywhere with diesel gas
Love was a trucker's hand
Never stuck around long enough
for a one-night stand
Before you kiss me you should know
Papa was a rodeo
Bridge -
C Em And now it's 55 years later F G We've had the romance of the century C Em After all these years wrestling gators F I still feel like crying G When I think of what you said to me:
Chorus -
"Papa was a rodeo
Mama was a rock'n'roll band
I could play guitar and rope a steer
before I learned to stand
Home was anywhere with diesel gas
Love was a trucker's hand
Never stuck around long enough
for a one-night stand
Before you kiss me you should know
Papa was a rodeo,"
What a coincidence
Your papa was a rodeo, too
