Rodeo

[G]She comes down to Georgia to dance [D]across my kitchen floor,
Leavin'[C] black marks on linoleum, a country[Am] song on the radio.

[G]I am just a rodeo calf with tender [D]feet and sewn on horns
And[C] love is a kindness that I've[Am] never known before,
I've never known bef[C]ore.

She say's "I'm[G] bound to Carolina to join the [D]kids in 'Truth or Dare'."
And she[C] laughs and says its just a game when I[Am] tell her that I'm scared.

I[G] am just a dog waitin' a[D]t the kitchen door,
[C] Love is a kindness that I've [Am]never known before,
I've never known be[C]fore.

There is a little bridge here that I just kind if
improvise with the notes from the song

[G]Make it last, [D]make it stay
Can you [C]hold on long enough to[Am] make this pay.

She said," My[G] daddy was a grifter and I was[D] in my momma's way,
So I[C] drifted for a while, because I[Am] could not stand to stay."

And she said, [G]"Love is a kindness that I've[D] never understood."
I said, "I'll[C] give it to you willingly, its [Am]something you deserve,
Its something you de[C]serve."

And I'll[G] make it last, I'l[D]l make it stay.
If you can[C] hold on long enough I ca[Am]n make this pay.
'Cause[G] I am just a calf with tender [D]feet and sewn on horns,
[C]Love is a prize waitin' [Am]on her at the rodeo.    [G]
