lyrics

No Rodeo for the Lame Horse


There ain’t no rodeo for the lame horse
There ain’t no stories left to tell
There ain’t no prayer there for the old ghost
There ain’t no wishing well-

There ain’t no spring break for the sitting duck
Someone is calling all the shots
There ain’t no callback for a lousy fuck
I gave it everything I got-
-it was not enough…

So goodbye, everybody
Goodbye, everybody…and so long…

There ain’t no rodeo for the lame horse
Just the same old ball and chain
There ain’t no courage, even for remorse
I’ll never see your face again-

There ain’t no rodeo for the lame horse
There ain’t no bargain in what I sell
There ain’t no corners in my square dance
There’s no limit to my hell-

So goodbye, everybody
Goodbye, everybody…and so long…oh so long…

So goodbye, everybody
Goodbye, everybody…and so long…

There ain’t no rodeo for the lame horse
There ain’t no stories left to tell
There ain’t no savior for the old ghost
There ain’t no wishing well-
-I wish you well…

So goodbye, everybody
Goodbye, everybody…and so long…oh so long…
