Slim Dusty — Rough Ridin Rodeo

[Verse 1] I don't like hangin' around in one town, somethin' makes me go Spend more time on that thin white line, followin' the rodeo Words can't tell you how I feel before I hit the air But you're safe bettin' I'll be sweatin' And glad as hell that I made it there [Chorus] Headin' up the highway, hold on tight I know I'm gonna make Mareeba tonight It's one place I can go for a rough ridin' rodeo [Verse 2] That Brahma bull was a friend of mine 'til I saw him turn around And try to make a mess of me, I was rescued by the clown With broken ribs and busted knees I must've hurt my brain But you're safe bettin' I'll be gettin' straight back onto that bull again [Chorus] Headin' up the highway, hold on tight I know I'm gonna make Mareeba tonight I'm goin' for that full eight second ride Headin' up the highway, hold on tight There's somewhere I wanna be tonight A place I can go for a rough ridin' rodeo [Verse 3] You're behind the chutes and see grown men terrified Rosin down that rope my friend, you've got Chainsaw to ride [Instrumental bridge] [Chorus] Headin' up the highway, hold on tight I know I'm gonna make Mareeba tonight And go in for that full eight second ride Headin' up the highway, hold on tight It's somewhere I wanna be tonight A place I can go for a rough ridin' rodeo [Outro] Somewhere I can go for a rough ridin' rodeo (Oh yeah)
