Blackie & the Rodeo Kings - Blackie & the Rodeo King lyrics

Blackie and the Rodeo King

they were just good friends

Been to every rodeo

and they rode on every old train

Blackie lived out her life every night

trying to sort out the lies that people would

tell her

and the Rodeo King was an Indian who

found the bottle

a better friend than any old white man

Through twenty years of fighting

with the bramas and the horses and the

women

Blackie picked him up one night

he was laying face down in the gutter

and with her heart on her sleeve

which life tailored for the street

she knew that she could talk to him

and the stories he told her were enough

for him to hold her

and her to hold on to him

Counting scars in one another

as we watched the level of the

bottle go around

Blackie was a beauty

though why she was was very hard to

tell

but the faces the Lord put on us

are the actions of a heart that love

can fill

Heart to heart they're living now

Blackie and the Rodeo King
