Re-Ride

Since I saw that rodeo in 1965

I had to try to be

The greatest bareback rider alive

I went and did some practicing on pa's old ropin' mare

And I thought I'd take that bronc I'd drawed

And really part it's hair

When they opened up

The gate he did a double flip

Half way through the second

One is when I lost my grip

I hooked my spurs into

The dees and hung with all my might

I held my breath he chinned the moon

And sucked back to the right

My boots came off and went

Asailin' right up in the stands

My belt it broke and shattered

My watch I lost my wedding band

I scattered all my cigarettes

My shirt ripped down the back

I sure was gettin' dizzy and

I thought my neck would crack

I rode him several jumps

With both hands high up in the air

He jumped into an old light pole we parted company there

I landed in some muddy slop he stomped right through my side

I knew he busted all my ribs and made me

Wanna die

Nothin' ever busted me like that old pony ride

I couldn't seem to catch my breath I couldn't seem

To hide

I hobbled back barefooted just a searchin' for my pride

And I just couldn't believe my achin' ears

When the announcer said re ride

Re ride

Re ride

I've had enough for 20 men and he calls up

Re ride

Re ride

Re ride

You'd think he got me good enough they give him

One more try
