Rodeos are risk and chance-Man and horse caught in a dance-Romance, Summer nights. Bright lights, Soda Pop, Popcorn, Saddle horns, Star lite,Star brite, Let's go out to the rodeo tonight-
I love a rodeo-
Warm summer nights
A lasso going round and round-Heading for the sky
Then diving down- horse stands still
Man hits the ground-
Ties calf to count of ten-
Crowd laughs and claps
calf jumps up...runs away-Hey
What say-I love a rodeo-
Rodeos are romance on warm summer nights, risk, stars in the sky, a dance to county music, bandstands, parades, cheers, broncos bucking right up to the sky, man twirling down and around coming hard to the ground-Round and Round and Round-I love a rodeo-
Rodeos were part of my life as a c-child back when my father was a winning roper-He donated the land for the Gothenburg rodeo grounds-We used to go when the rodeo was quite lively in the fifties. Later it seemed to quiet down-It's good to see it alive and thriving-One of my memories was the watermelon contest-i spent many nights in a white t shirt practicing the messy art of fast watermelon eating because i wanted to win and impress my eight year old boy friends-i won but I don't think I much impressed anyone but myself-What I wouldn't give to return to those days of fun, wind, sun, horses, cows, the whole thing-Listening to KRVN-The River-Lexington Nebraska really makes it all come back-I love a rodeo
