GLast Friday she said to me, Dhey Billy Joe, did you know either me or the Grodeo goes?
so I packed up and Dleft her in CWaco and drove up to ride Don the bulls in the Calgary sGnow
saw a Csign that said riders and hauled all my rigging inDside
where the Gfellas was braggin', and Cdrawing stock we would Dride
I was Cdoin' the same till I looked at the name that I'd Ddrawn
then I stood there and silently cGried
Coh you DCalgary Gsnow
CI can't let the Drodeo Ggo
hurtin' Cmore than my Dpride on a Gbull I can't Emride
lays me Clow, iDn the Calgary sGnow
Gwell, I knew I was beat in the hDat when I drew it
and it started me drinkin', to thinGk of the brute
till I managed to wreck my left kCnee and my ankle Dbetween the damn bull and the side of the Gchute
and I'm thinkCin' out loud as I fly through the clouds to the gDround
hey BiEmlly, maybe you aint' the most Cdynamite rider Daround
cause you're Ckickin' too late comin' Dout of the gate boy but you're Ggreat comin' gracefully Emdown
well, I knoGmw that I'm blown in the chute on the Cmfirst go round
so I give D'em my ole "what the hell" grin as I get Gup off the ground
and righGmt then I'm thinkin' I ain't taken to CmCalgary much
Dain't nothin' back in my room but a broom I can uGse for a crutch
And it's Ccold, lord, it's Dcold in the Calgary Gwind
when you Cknowin' that you gotta Dride the day morning aGgain
ain't no whiskeCy nor eDither nor Gplatens nor Empills
gonna Cdeaden the pain and Dchills
of the CGalgary wind
but what Cmore is a broken down rodeo cowboy to Ddo?
but stoGve up in Canada Cwatchin' his bruises turn Dblue
there's Conly one road gonna lead back to Waco and Dyou
and it runs out of chute number Gtwo
Coh you DCalgary Gsnow
CI can't let that Drodeo Ggo
hurtin' Cmore than my Dpride on a Gbull I can't Emride
lays me lCow in the CDalgary sGnow

G D G

Last Friday she said to me, hey Billy Joe, did you know either me or the rodeo goes?

D C D G

so I packed up and left her in Waco and drove up to ride on the bulls in the Calgary snow

C D

saw a sign that said riders and hauled all my rigging inside

G C D

where the fellas was braggin', and drawing stock we would ride

C D

I was doin' the same till I looked at the name that I'd drawn

then I stood there and silently cried

C D G

oh you Calgary snow

C D G

I can't let the rodeo go

C D G Em

hurtin' more than my pride on a bull I can't ride

C D G

lays me low, in the Calgary snow

G D

well, I knew I was beat in the hat when I drew it

and it started me drinkin', to think of the brute

C D G

till I managed to wreck my left knee and my ankle between the damn bull and the side of the chute

C D

and I'm thinkin' out loud as I fly through the clouds to the ground

Em C D

hey Billy, maybe you aint' the most dynamite rider around

C D G Em

cause you're kickin' too late comin' out of the gate boy but you're great comin' gracefully down

Gm Cm

well, I know that I'm blown in the chute on the first go round

D G

so I give 'em my ole "what the hell" grin as I get up off the ground

Gm Cm

and right then I'm thinkin' I ain't taken to Calgary much

D G

ain't nothin' back in my room but a broom I can use for a crutch

C D G

And it's cold, lord, it's cold in the Calgary wind

C D G

when you knowin' that you gotta ride the day morning again

C D G Em

ain't no whiskey nor either nor platens nor pills

C D

gonna deaden the pain and chills

of the Calgary wind

C D

but what more is a broken down rodeo cowboy to do?

G C D

but stove up in Canada watchin' his bruises turn blue

C D

there's only one road gonna lead back to Waco and you

and it runs out of chute number two

C D G

oh you Calgary snow

C D G

I can't let that rodeo go

C D G Em

hurtin' more than my pride on a bull I can't ride

C D G

lays me low in the Calgary snow
