~At the Mercy of the Windİ
"My heart is in tune with the rodeo,
there's been times I have fallen and grinned.
Sometimes I'm at the mercy of a pretty smile,
sometimes I'm at the mercy of the wind."
"The rodeo short circuited my good life back home.
My boots don't trod the same floorboards too long.
No sooner, the dust receives their first impression,
It's then I hear that lone cowboy song."
(*Chorus)
"Yippee Kiyay, Hey, cowboy come play...
Don't let your young heart get pinned.
Sometimes I'm at the mercy of a pretty smile,
sometimes I'm at the mercy of the wind."
"I can't help it momma, I seen her sweet smile,
she stole my heart with no sound.
But the rodeo said that I have to go,
when I come home will they put me in the ground?"
"When I come home will they put me in the ground?"
"The rodeo short circuits my whole life back home.
My boots don't trod the same floorboards too long.
No sooner, in the dust they receive their first impression,
I start to hear that lone cowboy song."
"Yippee Kiyay, Hey, cowboy come play...
Don't let your young heart get pinned.
Sometimes I'm at the mercy of a pretty smile,
sometimes I'm at the mercy of the wind."

Yeah, that was the name of it.
I like this song, but I come from rodeo country. Most of my first boyfriends rode bulls, and I dont mean me. .okay, hat wasnt funny. Seriously, there's humor here, and sweetness, I like this.
The yippee ky yay I could do without, but hey! Never know, you might be starting a trend.
Love,
jin
