Rodeo Queen Lyrics

(Shel Silverstein)

She wakes while you sleep and tiptoes out softly
And brings you your coffee in bed
And she crawls in beside you with biscuits
And kisses until all your hungers're fed.

Then she opens the paper and reads
How them rodeo rowdies have rolled into town
Then she's gone with the wind and you shook off again
And here's how it looks from the ground.

With a rodeo queen, belle of the ball
She's out of the shoe and she's tossin' 'em all
And if you think about it you will take the fall
Lovin' a rodeo queen.

She's home in the morning looks a bit weary
And smilin' a little bit strange
But she fixes your coffee and lays down beside you
Just as if nothin' had changed.

And while she holds you you're holdin' back words
You know that you'd better not say
But she makes no excuses shows no regrets
And you just better love her that way.

She's a rodeo queen, belle of the ball
She's out of the shoe and she's tossin' 'em all
And if you think about it you will take the fall
Lovin' a rodeo queen.

She's a rodeo queen, belle of the ball
She's out of the shoe and she's tossin' 'em all
And if you think about it you will take the fall
Lovin' a rodeo queen...
