Papa Was A Rodeo by Magnetic Fields
Papa Was A Rodeo
VERSE (1)
G G/f# Em Em7
I like your twisted point of view, Mike
C C/B Am7 D
I like your questioning eyebrows
G G/f# Em Em7
You've made it pretty clear what you like
C C/B Am7 D
It's only fair to tell you now
VERSE (2)
Em Em7 C C/B
that I leave early in the morning
Am7 D Dsus4 D
and I won't be back till next year
Em Em7 C C/B
I see that kiss-me pucker forming
Am7 D Dsus4 D
but maybe you should plug it with a beer, cause
CHORUS
G G/f# Em Em7
Papa was a rodeo - Mama was a rock'n'roll band
G G/f# C D
I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand
G G/f# C G
Home was anywhere with diesel gas - Love was a trucker's hand
G G/f# C C/B
Never stuck around long enough for a one night stand
Am7 G
Before you kiss me you should know
C D G
Papa was a rodeo
BRIDGE
( G )| G/f# | Em | Em7 | C | D - Dsus4 - D |
VERSE (1)
The light reflecting off the mirror ball
looks like a thousand swirling eyes
They make me think I shouldn't be here at all
You know, every minute someone dies
VERSE(2)
What are we doing in this dive bar
How can you live in a place like this
Why don't you just get into my car
and I'll take you away I'll take that kiss now, but
CHORUS
BRIDGE (X2)
VERSE (2)
And now it's 55 years later
We've had the romance of the century
After all these years wrestling gators
I still feel like crying when I think of what you said to me
CHORUS
C D G G/f#
…Papa was a rodeo
OUTRO
Em7 D C D G
What a coincidence, your Papa was a rodeo too.

I like your twisted point of view, Mike
I like your questioning eyebrows
You've made it pretty clear what you like
It's only fair to tell you now
that I leave early in the morning
and I won't be back till next year
I see that kiss-me pucker forming
but maybe you should plug it with a beer, 'cause
Papa was a rodeo
Mama was a rock'n'roll band
I could play guitar and rope a steer
before I learned to stand
Home was anywhere with diesel gas
Love was a trucker's hand
Never stuck around long enough
for a one-night stand
Before you kiss me you should know
Papa was a rodeo
The light reflecting off the mirror ball
looks like a thousand swirling eyes
They make me think I shouldn't be here at all
You know, every minute someone dies
What are we doing in this dive bar?
How can you live in a place like this?
Why don't you just get into my car
And I'll take you away
I'll take that kiss now, but
Papa was a rodeo
Mama was a rock'n'roll band
I could play guitar and rope a steer
before I learned to stand
Home was anywhere with diesel gas
Love was a trucker's hand
Never stuck around long enough
for a one-night stand
Before you kiss me you should know
Papa was a rodeo
And now it's 55 years later
We've had the romance of the century
After all these years wrestling gators
I still feel like crying
When I think of what you said to me:
"Papa was a rodeo
Mama was a rock'n'roll band
I could play guitar and rope a steer
before I learned to stand
Home was anywhere with diesel gas
Love was a trucker's hand
Never stuck around long enough
for a one-night stand
Before you kiss me you should know
Papa was a rodeo,"
What a coincidence
Your papa was a rodeo, too
