"Rodeo & Juliet" lyrics

Juliet was the queen of the Green County Expo
Her Mustang, named Sugarcane, had fame in Oklahoma
Her ribbons were blue, but her rhinestones were gold
She could have her pick of any Jim, John, Nick, Ricky, Rich, or Mr. Jones

But Juliet didn't need no man
That show and a broncho trophy
Were her slice of romance
That diamond ring, where painted ponies dance
Knew her like a song you can't forget
Ain't a love in this town stronger than the Roundup Rodeo and Juliet

Juliet did come close back in seventy-four
With a moonshiner's son of a gun matador
He got a job in California
And he don't ride here anymore

No, Juliet didn't need a man
That show and a broncho trophy
Were her slice of romance
That diamond ring, where painted ponies dance
Knew her like a song you can't forget
Ain't a love in this town stronger than the Roundup Rodeo and Juliet

Juliet maybe died with the Green County Expo
Took Sugarcane to New Orleans, that's how the story goes
But all we really know is

Juliet didn't need no man
That show and a broncho trophy
Were her slice of romance
That diamond ring, where painted ponies dance
Knew her like a song you can't forget
Ain't a love in this town stronger than the Roundup Rodeo and Juliet
