[Verse 1]
Was it just the thrill
I was looking for
How many times can you get knocked down
And come back for more
I couldn't get enough
Of your untamed eyes
I gave the go-ahead
Before I realized
[Chorus]
It was a gamble
It was a pull my hat down and hold on tight I can handle this
I tied myself to the very part of you that would come unhinged
Did what I could to not get thrown
It was a hell of a ride
Put on a real good show
It was a rodeo
[Verse 2]
Romance in lights
In eight seconds of time
And the twists and turns
Were worth the burn of the last goodbye
I'm a little bangеd up
Ain't got a lot to show
It's "better luck next timе, cowboy
You'll get another go"
[Chorus]
It was a gamble
It was a pull my hat down and hold on tight I can handle this
I tied myself to the very part of you that would come unhinged
Did what I could to not get thrown
It was a hell of a ride
Put on a real good show
It was a rodeo
[Bridge]
It could have been the road calling
Or another love, waiting on the line
I thought it was your hand I was holding
But it was only a canary in a coal mine
[Interlude]
It was just the thrill
I was looking for
How many times can you get knocked down
And come back for more
[Chorus]
It was a gamble
It was a pull my hat down and hold on tight I can handle this
I tied myself to the very part of you that would come unhinged
Did what I could to not get thrown
Yeah, it was a hell of a ride
Put on a real good show
It might've bruised my pride
But it had to let go
It was a rodeo
It was a rodeo
[Outro]
Mmm-mmm
Mmmmm
Mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm
Mmmmm
Mmm-mmm
