Intro

    

Verse 1

Let's have a hand for that young cowboy
And wish him better luck next time
I hope we'll see him up in Fargo
Or somewhere farther down the line 
This time he sure drew a bad one
One that nobody could ride
By the way he pulled his hat on
You knew he'd be there for the fight

Chorus

And it's the classic contradiction  
The unavoidable affliction
And it don't take much to predict, son
The way it always goes 
'Cause one day she'll say she loves you  
And the next she'll be tired of you
N' push'll always come to shove you
On that midnight rodeo

Instrumental

    

Verse 2

He almost made it to the buzzer
Somehow he gave up in the end
He put one hand around the other
And let that pick-up man on in 
It was his last chance to ride it
Now he'll have to move along
But he knows back in his mind, that
He won't be away for long

Chorus

And it's the classic contradiction  
The unavoidable affliction
It don't take much to predict, son
The way it always goes 
'Cause one day she'll say she loves you  
And the next she'll be tired of you
N' push'll always come to shove you
On that midnight rodeo
So let's have a hand for that young cowboy  
And wish him better luck next time
I hope we see him up in Fargo
Or somewhere farther down the line
