This is not our First or Last Rodeo, but it is a great song.

Last Rodeo
A long, long time ago, way back before you were born.
The time was tough, and the people they would,
Roll into your town and steal whatever they could.
It made it hard, to live off the fat of the land,
Or to hold on to someone else’s hand.
*This aint my first rodeo.
It all went dark, and I was falling down.
Then you came, and you turned my horse around.
You drove us back, back from the ledge.
I couldn’t thank you, all I said was:
**Babe this aint my first rodeo,
You know, I’ve been here since long before
And I’ll be here long after you go.
With a broken heart and an empty Lasso
This aint my first rodeo!
I’ve been a little bit wreck less, without your guiding hand.
I’ve done some things that even I don’t understand.
I don’t expect you’ll make this whole ride through
But you know where I’m at in case you do!
***Babe this aint my first Rodeo.
I’ve been here since long ago,
And I’ll be here long after you go
With a broken heart and an empty lasso.
Babe this aint my first rodeo!
This aint my last rodeo!
