Day 51: Rodeo Queen

This is one of Chance's favourites - and as some malingerers have complained about the depressing tone in previous songs, I'll post this more rollicking stomp. It's inspired by 93.7FM and revolves around the holy trinity of A, E, and D. Let's roll.

"Rodeo Queen"

The merry month of May and the rodeo's here
And ain't no one looking cuter than you my dear
As we walk down the street, the folks holler "how's that?"
Where'd an angel from heaven find that beautiful hat?
You make the girls all jealous and the boys all blush
But I just stutter and mumble and such
The clowns are looking funny and the bulls are looking mean
But no one's looking better than my rodeo queen

Oh rodeo queen, you're the cutest I've seen
Oh rodeo queen, do you know what I mean?

In your momma's dress, and your daddy's truck
We're heading for the riverbank to try our luck
But the fish ain't biting, and the deer've gone sleeping
Dip your toes in the water, watch the bullfrogs leaping
Staring up at the stars, and they plant the seed
That a little of your medicine is all I need
With your engine revving you're a clean machine
I'll dance the night away with my rodeo queen

Oh rodeo queen, you're the cutest I've seen
Oh rodeo queen, do you know what I mean?

In the morning wake up with mud in my eyes
And fleas in my hair and to my surprise
The clouds were green and the trees were blue
But all I see is that hat and you
Though the years have passed I can feel it still
Like I felt it then, I guess I always will
Though we've changed a lot since we were both sixteen
I will love you forever, you're my rodeo queen

Oh rodeo queen, you're the cutest I've seen
Oh rodeo queen, do you know what I mean?

Oh rodeo queen, you're the cutest I've seen
Oh rodeo queen, do you know what I mean?
