papa was a rodeo

• hüzünlü, güzel bir ballad. sözlerini de yazayım tam olsun;
  
  i like your twisted point of view, mike
  i like your questioning eyebrows
  you've made it pretty clear what you like
  it's only fair to tell you now
  
  that i leave early in the morning
  and i won't be back till next year
  i see that kiss-me pucker forming
  but maybe you should plug it with a beer, cause
  
  papa was a rodeo - mama was a rock'n'roll band
  i could play guitar and rope a steer before i learned to stand
  home was anywhere with diesel gas - love was a trucker's hand
  never stuck around long enough for a one night stand
  before you kiss me you should know
  papa was a rodeo
  
  the light reflecting off the mirror ball
  looks like a thousand swirling eyes
  they make me think i shouldn't be here at all
  you know, every minute someone dies
  
  what are we doing in this dive bar
  how can you live in a place like this
  why don't you just get into my car
  and i'll take you away i'll take that kiss now, but
  
  (boy) papa was a rodeo...
  
  and now it's 55 years later
  we've had the romance of the century
  after all these years wrestling gators
  i still feel like crying when i think of what you said to me
  
  papa was a rodeo...
  
  before you kiss me you should know - papa was a rodeo
  what a coincidence, your papa was a rodeo too
• kendisi bir the magnetic fields eseridir. zamanla, geceyle, beklemekle, gitmekle, aramakla, bulmakla, kaybetmekle ve elbette yolla ilgilidir. az biraz hüzünlüdür ama yine bir şekilde iyi hissettirmeyi becerir. kerouac bir müzisyen olsa on the road da aşağı yukarı böyle bir şarkı olurdu sanırım...
• çok çok güzel bir sara lov cover'ı vardır bu şarkının. mütemadiyen dinlenmeli.

  haddime midir bilmiyorum ama: (bkz: orijinalinden iyi olan cover'lar)
