"Papa Was A Rodeo" lyrics

Orville Peck, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway Lyrics

"Papa Was A Rodeo"

I like your twisted point of view, Mike
I like your questioning eyebrows
You've made it pretty clear what you like
It's only fair to tell you now

That I leave early in the morning
And I won't be back till next year
I see that kiss-me pucker forming
But maybe you should plug it with a beer

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

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

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?
I'll take you away, I'll take that kiss now, but

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

Thank you, Molly

And now it's 55 years later
We've had the romance of a century
After all these years wrestling gators
I still feel like crying when I think of what you said to me

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

What a coincidence
Your papa was a rodeo too
