One Trick Pony in a Rodeo Town
E
They’re threading hoops
A
And jumping styles
They’re beating all of
My time trials
B
I don’t care if they’re
A
Fillys or foals
F#m
They’re making me feel
B
So damn old
A B
I’m not angry, I’m just lost
A B
I want to get across
E A
I’m a one-trick pony in a
E
Rodeo town
I’m a one-trick pony in a
Rodeo town
They’ve got diamonds
In their reins
I’ve got rhinestones
And disdain
They toss their manes and
Get applause
I get asked if I’m
In menopause
I’m not angry, I’m just lost
And I want to get across
I’m a one-trick pony in a
Rodeo town
I’m a one-trick pony in a
Rodeo town
G#m F#m
When they get their turn in the darkness
G#m C#m
And see all these new racers in the harness
I’ll still be running my old mile
Making the rounds in my own style
G#m C#m
Without as many cheers it’s true
F#m B
At least I won’t be turned into glue
I’m not angry, I’m the boss
I just want to get across
I’m a one-trick pony in a
Rodeo town
I’m a one-trick pony in a
Rodeo town
Let the broncos
Have their day
I’ll still be around
To say
I’m a one-trick pony in a
Rodeo town
I’m a one-trick pony in a
Rodeo town
I’m a one-trick pony in a
Rodeo town
Unbound and Determined
G D Am
The plane took off from LAX
C walk up to G
A five o’clock in the morning
And when the sun had set
In her room without warning
Am B/Am C
She cried
As she looked out on the lights
Of New York City in the dark
Rubbing the spots on her wrists
Where the ropes had left their mark
Untied
G shape two lick
She doesn’t have to play their games anymore
G shape two lick
No more contracts signed to drag across the floor
C D
She’s free
C D
She’s free
G into lick
Unbound and determined
She’s free
She’s free
G into high D
Unbound and determined
High D lick down to verse
