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
