lyrics

Rodeo is back in town
Cowboys ready to ride
Bull and the broncs chock full of grain
They’re gonna buck with pride
People in the town people on the land wearing
Hats belts buckles and boots
They’re goin out to have a great time
When they fire out the chutes

Chorus

Yeah Rodeo Rider gates gonna open
Boney hands wrapped up in rope
Eight seconds an eternity
I don’t give em any hope

Cowboys will ride ‘em kick ‘em and hold on
Then get dusted down
They go so high when they look around
See water towers in the town
Bulls and the broncs there for buckability
They’re firey stubborn and proud
They got a little unpredictability
Maybe buck ‘em to the crowd
Chorus 2 (replace last line)
Yeah I’d give ‘em a bit of hope

Another year slips by
Like the flick of a tail
How can 8 seconds take forever
On the rodeo trail

Kids on their poddies popped up like popcorn
Grandad grinning ear to ear
Grandma doesn’t get the funny side
Crowd are poppin more beer
Clowns dancing on their wits and their toes
Never showing any fear
They know they’ll all be coming back again
Same time and place next year
Chorus 3 (replace last line)
Why don’t we give ‘em some hope
Chorus 4(replace last line)
Why don’t we give ‘em some hope
