Rodeo

Well I left my friends in Harlem
Just to join the Rodeo
Well you just stood there laughing
Sayin' I don't love you any more

And in the betting bars in Austin
By the drag race' winding road
And the sundown stood besotted
In a world you didn't know

Waiting hearts
Left staring at the sun
Waiting hearts
Left staring at the sun

Through the family fairs and gardens
All across the Alamo
And the fields of the forgotten
Sailors and lost souls

And the sugar cane plantation
And the burned tobacco smoke
And the rusty porch door swinging
As he swigs from the bottle

Waiting hearts
Left staring at the sun
Waiting hearts
Left staring at the sun

Waiting hearts
Left staring at the sun
Waiting hearts
Left staring at the sun
Waiting hearts
Left staring at the sun
