"Rodeos and Radios" is the ballad of the rodeo bull rider who leaves his devoted lady for his first love (that rodeo), after saddling up his pickup truck, with 400 miles to go for an eight-second ride." It speaks of the only thing that can soothe this cowboy's mind: the all-night country music show on the radio that accompanies him on his dedicated journey. Rodeos...and radios.

Saddles up his pickup truck
Heading out with 80 bucks
Praying that he'll have good luck
On the first one that he rides
Turns on the radio to an all-night country show
Four hundred miles to go
For an eight-second ride
Rodeos and radios
Another town, another show
Another fee, another draw
Another chance to ride
Life gets lonely on the road
His only company is a song
Reminds him of the one he loves
The one he left behind
He hates to leave her all alone
'cause she can't stand him being gone
He promises he won't be long
Then he hits the road
His first love is the rodeo
When it calls, he has to go
Somehow the dj seems to know
He can hear it in his songs
Rodeos and radios
Another town, another show
Another fee, another draw
Another chance to ride
Life gets lonely on the road
His only company is a song
Reminds him of the one he loves
The one he left behind
Rodeos and radios
Another town, another show
Another fee, another draw
Another chance to ride
Life gets lonely on the road
His only company is a song
Reminds him of the one he loves
The one he left behind
Rodeos and radios
Another town, another show
Another fee, another draw
Another chance to ride
