歌曲歌詞
A rodeo's just a rodeo after riding several years
From ol' Cheyenne to Houston
They never 'cause too much fear
But let me tell you about one
That will chill your very soul
It happens in December
When it's snowin' and it's cold
In Oklahoma City
There's a building of concrete
It's where the toughest stock
And men will gather and compete
The points have all been tallied
And the stock has all been brought
We've got just two more hours
'Cause it starts at eight o'clock
It's the finals the NFR the series of the sport
Hey rookie can you take ten head
Have you got the heart
You think you're a tough cowboy
We'll find out in the end
When that final whistle blows
And the stock's all in the pen
The coliseum's quiet except for the sounds
Of cowboys getting ready
And the workmen of the grounds
The cowboys ask each other
What each other's got
Did you draw ol' necklace
Or pluck old double Ought
The tension now is mounting as the crowd starts pouring in
A shiver goes all through me like
From a cold cold wind
I hear the horses comin' runnin' down the alleyway
They're snortin' and a blowin'
As men shut the sliding gates
It's the finals the NFR
The Series of the sport
Hey rookie can you take ten head
Have you got the heart
You think you're a tough cowboy
We'll find out in the end
When that final whistle blows
And the stock's all in the pen
We had too much time a while ago
But not enough time now
The Anthem is now over
The grand entry's going out
I sit there on my bronc
I'm ready and I wait
I hear a chute suen open
So I look out through the gate
A horse comes boiling out
And blows up at the roof
And then there comes another kicking like a curly wolf
I hear the chute boss holler
Through the yelling of the crowd
He says there's one ahead of you
So you'd better get screwed down
It's the finals the NFR
The series of the sport
Hey rookie can you take ten head
Have you got the heart
You think you're a tough cowboy
We'll find out in the end
When that final whistle blows
And the stock's all in the pen
I nod my head I'm in a daze
The horse goes boiling out
I run my spurrs into his neck
And then I drag 'em out
My mind is in a blur my eyes are seeing red
The flank catch slams into my back
His rump bangs on my head
From somewhere in the background
I can hear a buzzer sound
My hand's jerked from the riggin
And I crash into the ground
I stumble to my feet as I stagger to the wall
I wonder to myself is it really worth it all
It's the finals the NFR
The series of the sport
Hey rookie can you take ten head
Have you got the heart
You think you're a tough cowboy
We'll find out in the end
When that final whistle blows
And the stock's all in the pen
It's the finals the NFR
The series of the sport
Hey rookie can you take ten head
Have you got the heart
You think you're a tough cowboy
