Rough Ridin' Rodeo - Slim Dusty

I don’t like hangin' around in one town, somethin' makes me go

Spend more time on that thin white line, followin' the rodeo

Words can’t tell you how I feel before I hit the air

But you’re safe bettin' I’ll be sweatin'

And glad as hell that I made it there

Headin' up the highway, hold on tight

I know I’m gonna make Mareeba tonight

It’s one place I can go for a rough ridin' rodeo

That Brahma bull was a friend of mine 'til I saw him turn around

And try to make a mess of me, I was rescued by the clown

With broken ribs and busted knees I must’ve hurt my brain

But you’re safe bettin' I’ll be gettin' straight back onto that bull again

Headin' up the highway, hold on tight

I know I’m gonna make Mareeba tonight

I’m goin' for that full eight second ride

Headin' up the highway, hold on tight

There’s somewhere I wanna be tonight

A place I can go for a rough ridin' rodeo

You’re behind the chutes and see grown men terrified

Rosin down that rope my friend, you’ve got Chainsaw to ride

Headin' up the highway, hold on tight

I know I’m gonna make Mareeba tonight

And go in for that full eight second ride

Headin' up the highway, hold on tight

It’s somewhere I wanna be tonight

A place I can go for a rough ridin' rodeo

Somewhere I can go for a rough ridin' rodeo

(Oh yeah)
