Papa Was a Rodeo
Lyricist:Stephin Merritt
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 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? Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com How can you live in a place like this? Why don't you just get into my car? And 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 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
And now it's 55 years later We've had the romance of the 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 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
