Rickie Lee Jones - Rodeo Girl lyrics

Out on the range the quiet, endless still
Where the wild SSI whispers from these hills
It's a petrified forest
Trailer parks and fords
And there ain't no goin' back rodeo girl
Saddle up
There's no more credit in this bank
Try your luck up in the East
Down in the West hold on tight
To the pony that you love the best
There's a medicine at the gate
And a number on your back
And this world is all jacked
Up like a cadillac painted by a rodeo girl

There's a medicine at the gate
And a number on your back
And this world is all jacked
Up like a cadillac painted by a rodeo girl

Rodeo girl, rodeo girl count all the boxcars
The blue and white stars
That fall for ya rodeo girl

You're lost in the desert
And it's too hot to think
You gotta know about the milk truck
If you want a drink
And when the cowboy's sing
Bobby sands and the bear
You can wet your lips
In the cool pools of despair up in the East
Down in the West hold on tight
Now you gotta be better than the best

There's a medicine at the gate
And a number on your back
This world is all jacked up like a cadillac
Painted by a rodeo girl

There's a medicine at the gate
And a number on your back
This world is all jacked up like a cadillac
Painted by a rodeo girl rodeo girl
