Gettin' a job   Sweat and grime   Bound to come some day   Now I'm not sure about the rules   Make them as they play    That's alright   That's okay   I've seen it all before   They smile at you and shake your hand   Then throw you out the door    All that I need to know   Well I loved it where the trumpets show   Won the ribbons at the Rodeo   But lost them on the way home    Oh when the cold wind blows   And I watch the stars and feel their glow   I realize that I'll never know   So down and out I go    Looking back along the trail   Thought I saw your face   Tired and worn   Your eyes turned gray   Tried to find a place    That's alright   That's okay   It's the only way to go   So smile at me and shake your head   As you stumble to the floor    All that I need to know   Well I loved where the trumpets show   Won the ribbons at the Rodeo   But lost them on my way home    Oh where the cold wind blows   And I watch the stars and feel their glow   I realize that I'll never know   So down and out I go    All that I need to know   Why I love it when they slam the door    Guess that's just the way it goes   At the rodeo
