Rodeo Blues

	  		Writer/Performer: Red Stegall 
 
D I got to gather up my tack 
finish G runnin off the slack 
There's D another rodeo tommorrow A night 
It's five{D}hundred miles from here 
I got G time for one short beer 
D Lord I hope some A fool don't start a D fight 
 
D A pretty girl gave me a glance 
I wish I's G stayin for the dance 
But I D guess I better head her on down the A road 
There's a D truck stop down the line 
Guess that G I could spare the time 
For some D coffee and some A pie ala D mode 
 
CHORUS 
N.C. I got those D ro-o-deo just G one more show 
And D then I'm gonna quit tommorrow A blues 
D Turn out fines and G little white lines 
Ican't D even pay my A association D dues 
 
I been drawin' up real bad 
Missed the good ones I've had 
And about the timeI think It's all down pat 
The announcer says plus ten 
You broke the barrier again 
And they don't write no checks for fifteen flat. 
 
But if I can just hang on 
Till Ft. Worth and San Antone 
Well I'm bound to throw one down and make some time 
I'll have money in my jeans 
To spend on pretty dance hall queens 
Cigarettes and skoal and apple wine.
