RE-RIDE

C F
Since I saw that rodeo in 1965
G7 C
I had to try to be the greatest bareback rider alive
F
I went and did some practicing on pa's old ropin' mare
G7
And I thought I'd take that bronc I'd drawed
C
And really part it's hair
F
When they opened up the gate he did a double flip
G7 C
Half way through the second one is when I lost my grip
F
I hooked my spurs into the dees and hung with all my might
G7
I held my breath he chinned the moon
C
And sucked back to the right
F
My boots came off and went asailin' right up in the stands
G7 C
My belt it broke and shattered my watch I lost my wedding band
F
I scattered all my cigarettes my shirt ripped down the back.
G7 C
I sure was gettin' dizzy and I thought my neck would crack
F
I rode him several jumps with both hands high up in the air
G7 C
He jumped into an old light pole we parted company there
F
I landed in some muddy slop he stomped right through my side
G7 C
Nothin' ever busted me like that old pony ride
F
I couldn't seem to catch my breath I couldn't seem to hide
G7 F C
I hobbled back barefooted just a searchin' for my pride
C F
And I just couldn't believe my achin' ears
G7 C F C
When the announcer said RE-RIDE RE-RIDE RE-RIDE
G7
I've had enough for 20 men and he calls up RE-RIDE
F C
RE-RIDE RE-RIDE
(FADE) G7
You'd think he got me good enough they give him one more try
