G Dmaj C Dsus4
I like your twisted point of view, Mike.
C Em7 Am Dsus4 D
I like your questioning eyebrows,
G Dmaj C Dsus4
You've made it pretty clear what you like,
C Em7 Am Dsus4 D
It's only fair to tell you now.


Em D C G
That I leave early in the morning,
Am D Dsus4 D
And I won't be back till next year.
Em D C G
I see that kiss-me pucker forming,
Am D Dsus4 D
But maybe you should plug it with a beer, cause,


G D C G
Papa was a rodeo - Mama was a rock'n'roll band,
G D C D
I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand.
G D C G
Home was anywhere with diesel gas - Love was a trucker's hand.
G D C Em7 Am
Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand.
G
Before you kiss me you should know,
C D G Dmaj C Dsus4 C Dsus4 D
Papa was a rodeo.


G Dmaj C Dsus4
The light reflecting off the mirror ball,
C Em7 Am Dsus4 D
Looks like a thousand swirling eyes.
G Dmaj C Dsus4
They make me think I shouldn't be here at all,
C Em7 Am Dsus4 D
You know, every minute someone dies.


Em D C G
What are we doing in this dive bar,
Am D Dsus4 D
How can you live in a place like this?
Em D C G
Why don't you just get into my car,
Am D Dsus4 D
And I'll take you away I'll take that kiss now, but,


G D C G
Papa was a rodeo - Mama was a rock'n'roll band,
G D C D
I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand.
G D C G
Home was anywhere with diesel gas - Love was a trucker's hand.
G D C Em7 Am
Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand.
G
Before you kiss me you should know,
C D G Dmaj C Dsus4 C Em7 Am Dsus4 D
Papa was a rodeo.


Em D C G
And now it's 55 years later.
Am D
We've had the romance of the century,
Em D C G
After all these years wrestling gators,
Am D Dsus4 D
I still feel like crying when I think of what you said to me.


G D C G
Papa was a rodeo - Mama was a rock'n'roll band,
G D C D

G D C G
Home was anywhere with diesel gas - Love was a trucker's hand.

C Dsus4 C D G
What a coincidence, your Papa was a rodeo too.
