Rodeo Queen Lyrics

by Aaron Watson

We pull into town, try to find the fairgrounds
Park this Cadillac out back, behind the loading chutes
Finally made the big show, travelin' with the rodeo
I'm one of the boys that make sure nobody pays with their
Life ain't easy for a joker like me
I've got a smile painted on my face
It's only make believe

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e123628-aaron_watson~rodeo_queen_lyrics.html ]
She's got me where she wants me
Got me blinkin' when they cover the gate
I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
I'm in love with the rodeo queen
A clown in love with the rodeo queen

Every night the crowd goes wild when they see her ridin', shinin' like a diamond
She don't even know my name
I try to turn my feelings off before they load the roughstock
Gotta get my stuff together, take a shot and forget
How much time stands still when the bull starts spinnin'
When the bull starts spinnin'
When the bull starts spinnin'

She's got me where she wants me
Got me blinking' when they cover the gate
I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt
'Cause I'm not thinkin' straight
I'm in love with the rodeo queen
A clown in love with the rodeo queen

And baby bye, I'll tell you right
I might work up the nerve to tell 'er
I ain't just some fool in a barrel, no
There's a real heart beatin' underneath my
Over-sized wranglers, yellow suspenders
I might look like it but I ain't a pretender
No no
I gotta tell her, gotta tell her
Gotta tell 'er that

She's got me where she wants me
Got me blinkin' when they cover the gate
I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt
'Cause I'm not thinkin' straight

She's got me where she wants me
Got me blinkin' when they cover the gate
I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt
'Cause I'm not thinkin' straight
I'm in love with the rodeo queen
A clown in love with the rodeo queen
