Well I’m settin’ on Rollin’ Thunder, hell fury here I come
Got one chance to be famous put this widow-maker on the run
Well he’s rumblin’ like a volcano just about to blow its top
Cinched up and ready ain’t no time to stop
Gotta find good luck in a bad draw this re-ride’s my last run

The gate-man’s standin’ ready; the chute boss makes the call
The Flankman says that’s a rank bull but I’m gonna show ‘em all
Well there ain’t no time for thinkin’ ‘bout what I’m sittin’ on
Slam open the gate boys you know I’m ready to run
Gotta find good luck in a bad draw this re-ride’s my last run

8 seconds and countin’
7 seconds to go
6 seconds and countin’
Stay on
And be a star of the Rodeo

Instrumental verse:

Rollin’ and buckin’ and twistin’ I think I’m about to die
Up like a rocket down like a rock showin’ daylight in the sky
Just like a roller-coaster runnin’ off this track
Up in to heaven down into hell I hope I’m still on its back
Gotta find good luck in a bad draw this re-ride’s my last run

5 seconds and countin’
4 seconds to go
3 seconds and countin’
Stay on
And be a star of the Rodeo

Well I’m just a Rodeo Cowboy more than day money’s what I need
So I’m gonna boot this arm-jerker all the way to his knees
Well this ain’t no hat-bender he’s a head-hunter they tell me
Don’t wanna be freight-trained hope the bull-rope don’t come free
Gotta find good luck in a bad draw this re-ride’s my last run

3 seconds and countin’
2 seconds to go
1 second and countin’
Stay on
Now I’m the star of the Rodeo
