Gettin' a job

Sweat and grime

Bound to come some day

Now I'm not sure about the rules

Make them as they play

That's alright

That's okay

I've seen it all before

They smile at you and shake your hand

Then throw you out the door

All that I need to know

Well I loved it where the trumpets show

Won the ribbons at the Rodeo

But lost them on the way home

Oh when the cold wind blows

And I watch the stars and feel their glow

I realize that I'll never know

So down and out I go

Looking back along the trail

Thought I saw your face

Tired and worn

Your eyes turned gray

Tried to find a place

That's alright

That's okay

It's the only way to go

So smile at me and shake your head

As you stumble to the floor

All that I need to know

Well I loved where the trumpets show

Won the ribbons at the Rodeo

But lost them on my way home

Oh where the cold wind blows

And I watch the stars and feel their glow

I realize that I'll never know

So down and out I go

All that I need to know

Why I love it when they slam the door

Guess that's just the way it goes

At the rodeo
