This ain't my first rodeo, darling,
but no matter how many times
I get bucked off and rebuked
it still carries the same sting,
though I now know where to set my sights,
that when the gate falls, the game has changed.
True, years and experience can have that effect,
the bull kicks a little harder,
we hold the reigns even tighter,
nearer to the drumbeat, the very same
that compels me to dust off again and claim;
you know, darling, this ain't my first rodeo.
