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

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

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 banged up
Ain't got a lot to show
It's better luck next time cowboy
You'll get another go

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

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

It was just the thrill
I was looking for
How many times can you get knocked down
And come back for more

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 have bruised my pride
But I had to let go
It was a rodeo
It was a rodeo
