It's all veneer and up from here, so take a rest So I'll set off runnin' like I said I was gonna, and find another rodeo I'm a mechanical bull, throw a quarter and watch me go And I get a little sad in the evenings, knowin' I'll never get a beatin' Like being young and dumb again in this life's long rodeo Maybe I'll move to Texas, let my soul grow bored and restless And learn to rope and ride like Le Gros Maybe I'll learn the mando and to pick a banjo too Ride all night on the highways like Two-Show Are the old ways dead, livin' in my head?
