Lyrics

[00:14.00] I like your twisted point of view, Mike
[00:20.39] I like your questioning eyebrows
[00:26.56] You've made it pretty clear what you like
[00:33.28] It's only fair to tell you now
[00:39.59] that I leave early in the morning
[00:46.05] and I won't be back till next year
[00:52.71] I see that kiss-me pucker forming
[00:58.47] but maybe you should plug it with a beer, cause
[01:05.04] Papa was a rodeo - Mama was a rock'n'roll band
[01:11.25] I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand
[01:17.79] Home was anywhere with diesel gas - Love was a trucker's hand
[01:24.00] Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand
[01:31.62] Before you kiss me you should know
[01:37.94] Papa was a rodeo
[01:53.78] The light reflecting off the mirror ball
[02:00.42] looks like a thousand swirling eyes
[02:06.90] They make me think I shouldn't be here at all
[02:12.75] You know, every minute someone dies
[02:20.07] What are we doing in this dive bar
[02:26.52] How can you live in a place like this
[02:33.13] Why don't you just get into my car
[02:38.94] and I'll take you away I'll take that kiss now, but
[02:45.41] Papa was a rodeo- Mama was a rock'n'roll band
[02:51.70] I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand
[02:58.25] Home was anywhere with diesel gas - Love was a trucker's hand
[03:04.70] Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand
[03:12.10] for you kiss me you should now
[03:18.39] papa was a rodeo
[03:46.42] And now it's 55 years later
[03:52.84] We've had the romance of the century
[03:59.20] After all these years wrestling gators
[04:04.58] I still feel like crying when I think of what you said to me
[04:11.32] Papa was a rodeo - Mama was a rock'n'roll band
[04:17.52] I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand
[04:23.99] Home was anywhere with diesel gas - Love was a trucker's hand
[04:30.29] Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand
[04:37.53] Before you kiss me you should know
[04:43.69] papa was a rodeo
[04:49.90] What a coincidence you .Papa was a rodeo too
[05:01.53]
