Little Red Rodeo Lyrics - Phil Vassar

Well, a note said, You've had time to think about it 

Looks like to me you're feelin' kinda crowded 

You're not looking for anything permanent here 

So my rodeo is packed and it's in 'goodbye gear' 

So I shot down to the Longhorn Diner 

Her sister works there and she'd know where to find her 

She said, "You didn't hear this from me 

All I'll say is momma's got that place out in Monterrey" 

Oh, how fast can I go? I gotta catch that little red rodeo 

She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know 

Need the girl in that little red rodeo 

Texas plates, candy-apple red rodeo 

Two towns back I showed your photograph 

And the gas-station man just started to laugh 

She said, I might see you in this old bucket o' rust 

And said, Good luck boy, just follow that cloud o' dust" 

Oh, how fast can I go? I gotta catch that little red rodeo 

She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know 

Need the girl in that little red rodeo 

Texas plates, candy-apple red rodeo 

Or maybe I was straddlin' the fence just like she said 

It took her leaving to get it through my head 

She's the one and only, it's over that's it 

I'm committed, I'm in love and I'm desperate 

She's a good ways gone, but I'm closin' the gap 

If I have to I'll chase her clear across the map 

Oh, how fast can I go? I gotta catch that little red rodeo 

She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know 

Need the girl in that little red rodeo 

Texas plates, candy-apple red rodeo 

Yeah, how fast can I go? Gotta catch that little red rodeo 

She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know 

Need the girl in that little red rodeo 

Texas plates, candy-apple red rodeo 

Now how fast can I go? Let's go
