Rodeo Cowboy

Just one step and you whipped me, 
You flung me in the air,
You flung me like I was nothing, 
You didn’t feel, you didn’t care,

And you threw me at the fence, 
Then you grabbed me by my hand,
And refused to let me run, 
You refused to let me land,

And then you kicked my body, 
You tried to kick my head,
You tried to kick my entire me, 
To make sure that I was dead,

But then some clown stood between us, 
He must have been insane,
And I stood, with one bruised hand raised, 
To ride bareback bronc again.
