Rodeo Girl Lyrics - Twelve Bars Past Midnight - Rickie Lee Jones

Out on the range 

The quiet, endless still 

Where the wild s.s.i 

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
