VERSE (1)
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
VERSE (2)
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
BRIDGE (x2)
VERSE (2)
And now it's 55 years later
We've had the romance of the century
After all these years wrestling gators
I still feel like crying when I think of what you said to me
CHORUS
C D G Gmaj7 …Papa was a rodeo
OUTRO
Em7 D C D G What a coincidence, your Papa was a rodeo too.
