Rodeo


This is Rodeo By Amy Ray from her album Prom (4/12/05) G D She comes down to Georgia to dance across my kitchen floor, C Am Leavin' black marks on linoleum, a country song on the radio. G D I am just a rodeo calf with tender feet and sewn on horns C Am And love is a kindness that I've never known before, C I've never known before. G D She say's "I'm bound to Carolina to join the kids in 'Truth or Dare'." C Am And she laughs and says its just a game when I tell her that I'm scared. G D I am just a dog waitin' at the kitchen door, C Am Love is a kindness that I've never known before, C I've never known before. There is a little bridge here that I just kind if improvise with the notes from the song G D Make it last, make it stay C Am Can you hold on long enough to make this pay. G D She said," My daddy was a grifter and I was in my momma's way, C Am So I drifted for a while, because I could not stand to stay." G D And she said, "Love is a kindness that I've never understood." C Am I said, "I'll give it to you willingly, its something you deserve, C Its something you deserve." G D And I'll make it last, I'll make it stay. C Am If you can hold on long enough I can make this pay. G D 'Cause I am just a calf with tender feet and sewn on horns, C Am G Love is a prize waitin' on her at the rodeo.
