I was half in mind - I was half in need,
And as the rain came down - I dropped to my knees and prayed
I said "oh Heavenly thing - please cleanse my soul,
I've seen all on offer and I'm not impressed at all".
I was halfway home - I was half insane,
And every shop window I looked in just looked the same
I said send me a sign to save my life
'Cause at this moment in time there is nothing certain in
these day's of mine
Y'see it's a frightening thing when it dawns upon you
That I know as much as the day I was born
And though I wasn't asked (I might as well stay)
And promise myself each and every day - that -
When you're knocked on your back - an' your life's a flop
and when you're down on the bottom there's nothing else
but to shout to the top - shout!Well the note said you've had time to think about it
Looks like to me you're feeling kinda crowded
You're not looking for anything permanent here
So my Rodeo's packed and it's in goodbye gear
So I shot down to the Longhorn Diner
Her sister works there and she'd know where to find her
She said you did not hear this from me
All I'll say is momma's got that place out in Monterey
Oh, how fast can I go
Gotta catch that little red Rodeo
She drove off with my heart I got to let her know
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo
Two towns back I showed your photograph
And the gas station man just started to laugh
She said I might see you in this old bucket of rust
And said "Good luck boy just follow that cloud of dust"
Oh, how fast can I go
Gotta catch that little red Rodeo
She drove off with my heart I got to let her know
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo
Maybe I was stradling the fence just like she said
It took her leavin' just to get it through my head
She's the one and only it's over, that's it
I'm committed I'm in love and I'm desperate
She's a good ways gone but I'm closing the gap
If I have to I'll chase her clear across the map
Oh, how fast can I go
Gotta catch that little red Rodeo
She drove off with my heart I got to let her know
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo
Yeah, how fast can I go
Gotta catch that little red Rodeo
She drove off with my heart I got to let her know
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo
Oh, how fast can I go
Gotta catch that little red Rodeo
She drove off with my heart I got to let her know
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo
