My First Rodeo”

El Reno Oklahoma
And I was just a girl from a nowhere town.
He said he was from Tulsa.
And that Cowboy roped my heart right to the ground
He swept me off my feet
So good to me
He was everything I wanted
My friends tried stop me
But he’d already got me
And he left my poor heart haunted

And I never saw it coming
Full speed ahead to nothing
That boy was good at putting on a show
From kisses in the moonlight
Forever until one night
You wait for him but his boots done hit the road
He was always gonna break my heart
But I didn’t know
'Cause it was my first rodeo

I learned a lot the hard way
Ain't gonna let my heart hurt that way again
I ain’t giving up on love
But I’m not gonna let just anybody in
'Cause I remember well, the sights, the smells,
and the rubbish on the ground
From a rodeo princess
To a rodeo clown

And I never saw it comin'
Full speed ahead to nothin'
That boy was good at putting on a show
From kisses in the moonlight
Forever until one night
You wait for him but his boots done hit the road
He was always gonna break my heart
But I didn’t know
'Cause it was my first rodeo

Bulls and the wild horses
Eight seconds and the wrong choices
