I dropped my scuffed old riggin' bag-
Out there behind the chutes-
Dug around and found my spurs-
Then strapped them on my boots.

I rosined up, and dropped my rope-
Across a hairy hide...
A buddy fished my rope for me-
I readied for the ride...

I'm on my rope and ready-
And, Lord, those horns are wide...
I wait until he's steady-
Then I nod and cry, "Outside".

Rodeo and romance,
Are much alike you see...
To see if you can stick or not,
You pay your entry fee.

Sometimes a ride will start so well-
You think it's in the bank.
But just before the buzzer sounds,
It turns out double-rank!

I've had my share of go-rounds...
I've won more than a few...
But the hardest fall I ever had-
Was the one I took from you.

Rodeo and romance-
Is the only life I know...
I'll guess I'll point my pick-up truck,
To one more rodeo.

Bravo!!!!!!!! This is great, especially if you love rodeos as much as I do!!! Took me back to the Pendleton Round-up in Oregon, where I saw my first rodeo, and became a fan!!! Great one here!!

Open the door and let your adventure begin!!!

An old cowboy once confided to me."Shoot,I don't even like bronc riding no more.I guess I'm just too stupid it quite".He was grinning when he said it.

Rodeo falls can break bones and bodies... romance falls break hearts. *S* I like this very much, GS... *S*

I'm sure that your pickup will take you to another romantic ride...James
