Rivermaya Rodeo song lyrics

Rhinestone kid on a freeway star

an '87 pick-up an' a red guitar

playin' like an angel with a broken grin

a song o true love fo' his girl darlene

They haven't seen each other for a year or so

man, he misses her like we all miss that tv show

where he first performed that love song ‘bout a year ago

well, if ya haven't heard it yet then this is how it goes…

Rodeo-uh-oh-oh-oh

like the buffalos do it by the wishing well

‘cause they ain't got time no money for a cheap motel, yeah

rodeo-uh-oh-oh-oh

tell me what sweeter thing could happen to a boy an' a girl?

we gotta do it like mechanical wabbits from hell, yeah

It was the sweetest song playin' on the raid-eeh-oh

from the edge of alabama down to me-hee-ko

it was a number one hit but darlene didn't know

whom her fav'rite song was fo

but everytime she hears it, her heart, like a gong,

would tremble for the man for whom she longs

…for whom she longs….

and ‘en she starts to sing along…

Rodeo-uh-oh-oh-oh

we gotta do it for a reason, gotta do it for fun

we gotta sparkle like tequila in the hot…hot sun, yeah!

rodeo-uh-oh-oh-oh

we gotta do it like sinatra used to do “my way”

an' in the background there's that beck dude singin' odelay
