Ballad Of Possum Potez Lyrics - Singles - Rodney Crowell

Dayton Texas rodeo Possum Potez stole the show 

Way back in 1968 the night he rode ol' Pearly Gates 

It was a spinning bucking ton of death and everybody held their breath 

Possum rode him to a draw it was the best bull ride I ever saw 

Possum Possum where are you no one rides bulls like you used to 

They haul you off in the ambulance and you show up later at the victory dance 

Possun Possum get back home we ain't had no fun since you've been gone 

With your two pack habit and a six pack buzz you're the best that there ever was 

You're the best that there ever was

Two lone black top highway flyin' that's ol' possum I ain't lyin' 

Eight track tape deck Blasting Jones Ernest Tubb and The Rolling Stones 

In the beer joints and down by the bucking shoots 

The cowgirls swore that he was so cute 

They just love the way that he cocked his hat Possum had it all down pat 

Possum Possum where are you... 

You're the best that there ever was 

[ guitar ] 

Ah rainbow cafe all jokes aside the day ol' Possum like to died 

Some sweet thing flashed him a blue eyed grin made ol' Possum's style kick in 

A jealous cowboy all drunk and wired pulled a pistol and a bullet fired 

Blood was she'd out in the parking lot but it was not Possum wound up shot 

Possum Possum where are you... 

You're the best that there ever was you're the best that there ever was
