She waters the ring each morning She waters the horses as well She tends to them sweetly She tacks the mud neatly She's patient and driven as hell Her friends are out dancing Getting wild and romancing And that Gennie had stolen her Joe But she let him go Cause he left when she said she'd be queen of the rodeo Queen of the rodeo I can see all the roses draped around me Queen of the rodeo I can feel, oh the innocence, still can be real She'd broken some bones She'd been bucked off, Lord knows But the thrill, it never died down She lost in the toss Coming last and felt lost But the laughter would never keep her down Queen of the rodeo I can see all the roses draped around me Queen of the rodeo I can feel, oh the innocence, still can be real Back there's a burning I can not be the best I've watched the other stars rise I've no time to rest Queen of the rodeo I can see all the roses draped around me Queen of the rodeo I can feel, oh the innocence, still can be real Queen of the rodeo I can see all the roses draped around me Queen of the rodeo I can feel, oh the innocence, still can be real She waters the ring each morning She waters the horses as well She tends to them sweetly She tacks the mud neatly She's patient and driven as hell
