Chris LeDoux - Fourth Of July Rodeos

Just about two hundred years ago they signed that declarationTellin' everybody in the whole wide worldThey're gonna start a brand new nationFrom that day on the 4th of July has been a holidayTo the rich man, poor man and everybody else but the cowboys in the RCAWell I get on the phone and call the airlinesRent-a-cars and greyhound stations'Cause I've entered 'bout thirteen rodeos out across the great big nationGot the car tuned up the tanks full of gas I've got money in my handAnd if I ain't overdrawn by the end of the week at the bank I'm a lucky manIt's the 4th of July on the rodeo trail and it'll drive you insaneMy wife's worried home by the telephone I'm on the road againIt's the 4th of July on the rodeo trail if I ever make it home I swearI'm gonna hang up my hat put up my riggin' sackAnd for a month I'm gonna stay right thereWell I've been on the road about three days nowAnd I haven't had a minutes restThere's dark circles all around my bloodshot eyesAnd my face is now a whiskered messBoy I'd sure like a bath and a home cooked mealBut for now I must be satisfiedWith this double super-duper half cooked burgerAnd a side of grease soaked French friesWell the week's nearly over and I wonder to myselfWill I ever make it home aliveWhen a bronc fell on me up in CalgaryWhen he slipped tryin' to make his high diveAnd the plane and the pilot that we rentedLooked like surplus from world war IAnd I thought any times about suicide but I haven't found myself a gunIt's the 4th of July on the rodeo trail and it'll drive you insaneMy wife's worried home by the telephone I'm on the road againIt's the 4th of July on the rodeo trail if I ever make it home I swearI'm gonna hang up my hat put up my riggin' sackAnd for a month I'm gonna stay right there
