“The First Rodeo I Ever Saw

Verse I
I bought a hat two sizes tall,
Boots too shiny, I could barely walk at all.
Sat in the stands with a corndog in my hand,
Thought I was the toughest cowboy in the land.

Chorus
But it’s the first rodeo I ever saw,
The bull looked at me and I dropped my jaw.
The clowns ran faster than the cowboy could,
I spilled my beer but the nachos were good.
Oh lordy, yee-haw—
The first rodeo I ever saw!

Verse II
The bronc came buckin’, the crowd went wild,
I cheered so hard like a little child.
Tried to rope the air with a piece of twine,
Got tangled up and fell on my behind.

Chorus
It’s the first rodeo I ever saw,
That steer was meaner than my grandma’s maw.
The band played loud and the night felt right,
I danced with a stranger ‘til the morning light.
Oh lordy, yee-haw—
The first rodeo I ever saw!

Bridge
Now I ain’t no cowboy, but I sure found out,
It ain’t about the spurs, it’s the spirit that counts.
I’ll be back again, hat crooked, boots raw—
Can’t forget the first rodeo I ever saw!

Final Chorus (big, rowdy)
The first rodeo I ever saw,
I laughed so hard I broke the law.
The bulls still buck and the cowboys fall,
But I’ll remember that night most of all.
Oh lordy, yee-haw—
The first rodeo I ever saw!
