Kalyn Beasley - Rodeo Town

[Verse 1]
C F C F C G
She met him on the front porch before he could come in, before he could come and love on her and leave again,
C F C F C F G C
She was sad but resolute convicted in her truth, sure as the sun sets to rise a cowboys gonna ride
C F C F C G
It didn’t last a minute, he never tried to kiss her, never tried to touch her face or bend her ear
C F C F C F G C
He just climbed in his truck, she felt it when he looked up, but it was gone as fast as he said adios my dear

[Chorus]
Am G F C G
That’s how it goes down in a rodeo town, a young man’s way to try and tame the wildness he’s drawn
Am G F C F G C
He don’t know now but he’ll sure as hell find out, all that he was holdin’ on will someday all be gone

[Verse 2]
C F C F C G
A man’s got no choice, he’s got that little voice that nags him on and tells him still to try
C F C F C F G C
You can deal with it, hell and you might even kill it, but it’s awfully persistent and mighty slow to die
C F C F C G
Cause when your life’s in a bag and the tools of your trade are leather, rawhide, and handmade
C F C F C F G C
You don’t give much thought to all the hell you wrought to the one up in the stands cheering out your name

[Chorus]
Am G F C G
That’s how it goes down in a rodeo town, a young man’s way to try and tame the wildness he’s drawn
Am G F C F G C
He don’t know now but he’ll sure as hell find out, all that he was holdin on will someday all be gone

[Verse 3]
C F C F C G
She loaded up her stuff, fueled up her truck, turned in her key and checked the map
C F C
To herself she wouldn’t lie, it wasn’t all a waste of time,
F C F G C
It was beautiful and wild and it was both at the same time,

[Chorus]
Am G F C G
That’s how it goes down in a rodeo town, Don’t ask me how I know, but I do
Am G F C F G C
I didn’t know then all that I know now, but all that I was living for will someday all be through
