Sad Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

not another existential cowboy,

and no more "california champagne.

not another saddle tramp

sick, sore, lonely and out of place,

cryin' in his coffee ice cream (come on).

edith cannot fix another engine,

nor paint another face on a rubbercan clown.

she takes another temp job,

but in her secret heart she rides!



sad sweetheart of the rodeo

not an urban legend now

sad sweetheart of the rodeo.

give it a rest, give it a rest, give it a bad night's sleep.



norman says that you should take a valium

(or maybe something stronger)

cause he doesn't understand how

you get so excited watching "the lusty men."

the marlboro man died of cancer

and he wasn't a rocket scientist when he was healthy. ha ha ha.

she took one last gulp of his soft city condescension

and blasted off from his little launch pad to parts west.
