"Plastic Rodeo" lyrics

You love to tell me who I am
And tell me who I ain't
Tell me I should speak my mind unless you don't like what I got to say
Tell me how wear to my hair
And put more makeup on my face
Go on, tell me, "Girl, cut loose," then you keep a tight grip on my reins
Well, okay

Ooh, puppet on your string
Ooh, throw me into the ring

Oh, what a shame
You can't win, I'm stuck in the game
But I bought in
It's all for the money, all for the show
I'm just another toy pony
In the plastic rodeo
Oh, oh

Where nothing's ever as it seems
The man behind the machine
He'll make you sell your soul and cut holes in your rip-off dreams
Oh, whoa

I put the blood, sweat, and tears into a ten-year plan
Colorado to Hollywood and bought some Tennessee land
But I was just a pawn, I put my fate in your hands
Front the band, do the dance, god damn the man

Oh, what a shame
You can't win, I'm stuck in the game
But I bought in
It's all for the money, all for the show
I'm just another toy pony
In the plastic rodeo
Oh, oh, oh

You put a wild horse into a doll house
You dolled her all up just to let her down
You took a wild horse, gave her the run around
And she's still running 'round
Yeah, I'm still running 'round
Yeah, I'm still running 'round

Oh, what a shame
You can't win, I'm stuck in the game
But we're all, all in
It's all for the money, all for the show
I'm just another toy pony
I'm just another toy pony
I'm just another toy pony
In the plastic rodeo
Oh, oh, oh

In the plastic rodeo
I'm just another toy pony
