lyrics

When a cowboy’s too old to set a bad example
He knows how to tell a story
Swear to God and ride like the Devil
You’re not in it for the glory
The rodeo clown does a little dance
You can’t keep trouble from visiting
But you don’t offer it a chair
A cowboy’s gotta do what a cowboy’s gotta do
Smell that country air!
The rodeo clown does a little dance

CHORUS
Giddy up for God
Saddle up for Satan
When you hit the hard ground
It’s the one and the same
Giddy up for God
Saddle up for Satan
Hope that rodeo clown
Is up for the chase

I was almost at the 8 second whistle
My foot in the stirrup stuck
My head ended up underneath the horse’s hooves
And he just kept on bucking
The rodeo clown does a little dance
When I was in the coma I dreamt I was a horse
They saddled me up to be tamed
Just like the doctors came to my rescue
There’s horses that need to be saved
The rodeo clown does a little dance

We get the horses off the slaughter trucks
There’s no horse that couldn’t be rode
Too wild for the average trainer
There’s no rider that can’t be throwed
The rodeo clown does a little dance
I gave up rodeo now I train horses
And they said I’d never ride!
You’re as close to nature as you’ll ever be
To get the trust of a horse that’s wild
The rodeo clown does a little dance
