Rodeo Song

Called last night from Santa Fe
 Said there's been a change in plans
 I did my best to explain
 And I sure hope you'll understand
 I got the money that you wired
 And I know that I should leave
 But there's a show in Angel Fire
 And I've already paid my fees
 And I'm old enough to know better
 But I just can't seem to turn and walk away
 So I keep laying it on the line, one ride at a time
 Hopin' that the next one'll pay
 Remember Sam from Jackson Hole
 Well he turned out his bull last night
 Said he was feelin' kinda old
 And he'd lost the nerve to ride
 He said there's things that you can't change
 No matter how you try
 And there's nothing like the pain
 When you watch an old dream die
