Papa Was A Rodeo (爸爸曾是个竞技者) - The Magnetic Fields
I like your twisted point of view Mike
I like your questioning eyebrows
You've made it pretty clear what you like
It's only fair to tell you now
That I leave early in the morning
And I won't be back till next year
I see that kiss-me pucker forming
But maybe you should plug it with a beer cause
Papa was a rodeo - Mama was a rock'n'roll band
I could play guitar and rope a
Steer before I learned to stand
Home was anywhere with diesel
Gas - Love was a trucker's hand
Never stuck around long
Enough for a one night stand
Before you kiss me you should know
Papa was a rodeo
The light reflecting off the mirror ball
Looks like a thousand swirling eyes
They make me think
I shouldn't be here at all
You know every minute someone dies
What are we doing in this dive bar
How can you live in a place like this
Why don't you just get into my car
And I'll take you away I'll
Take that kiss now but
Papa was a rodeo Mama was a rock'n'roll band
I could play guitar and rope a
Steer before I learned to stand
Home was anywhere with diesel
Gas - Love was a trucker's hand
Never stuck around long
Enough for a one night stand
Before you kiss me you should know
Papa was a rodeo
And now it's 55 years later
We've had the romance of the century
After all these years wrestling gators
I still feel like crying when
I think of what you said to me
Papa was a rodeo Mama was a rock'n'roll band
I could play guitar and rope a
Steer before I learned to stand
Home was anywhere with diesel
Gas - Love was a trucker's hand
Never stuck around long
Enough for a one night stand
Before you kiss me you should know
Papa was a rodeo
What a coincidence
Your Papa was a rodeo too
