[Verse 1]
A Bbrodeo's just a rodeo after Ebriding several years
From Fol' Cheyenne to EbHouston they never Fcause too much Bbfear
But Bblet me tell you about one that will Ebchill your very soul
It Fhappens in De-Ebcember when it's Fsnowin' and it's Bbcold
[Verse 2]
In BbOklahoma City there's a Ebbuilding of concrete
It's Fwhere the toughest Ebstockin' men will Fgather and Bbcompete
The Bbpoints have all been tallied and the Ebstock has all been brought
We've Fgot just two more Ebhours cause it sFtarts at eight o'Bbclock
[Chorus]
It's the EbFinals the N.F.R. the Series of the Bbsport
Hey Ebrookie can you take ten head Ebhave you got the Fheart
You Ebthink you're a tough cowboy we'll find out in the Bbend
When that Ebfinal whistle Fblows and the stock's all in the Bbpen
[Verse 3]
The Bbcoliseum's quiet except for the Ebsounds
Of Fcowboys getting Ebready and the Fworkmen of the Bbgrounds
The Bbcowboys ask each other, Ebwhat each other's got
"DFid you draw ol' EbNecklace or Fpluck old Double-BbOught
The Bbtension now is mounting as the Ebcrowd starts pouring in
A Fshiver goes all Ebthrough me like Ffrom a cold cold Bbwind
I Bbhear the horses comin' runnin' Ebdown the alleyway
They're Fsnortin' and a Ebblowin' as men Fshut the sliding Bbgates
[Chorus]
It's the EbFinals the N.F.R. the Series of the Bbsport
Hey Ebrookie can you take ten head Ebhave you got the Fheart
You Ebthink you're a tough cowboy we'll find out in the Bbend
When that Ebfinal whistle Fblows and the stock's all in the Bbpen
[Verse 4]
We had Bbtoo much time a while ago but Ebnot enough time now
The FAnthem is now Ebover the grand Fentry's going Bbout
I Bbsit there on my bronc I'm Ebready and I wait
I Fhear a chute gate Ebopen so I Flook out through the Bbgate
A Bbhorse comes boiling out and Ebblows up at the roof
And Fthen there comes Ebanother kicking Flike a curly Bbwolf
I Bbhear the chute boss holler through the Ebyelling of the crowd
He Fsays there's one a-Ebhead of you so you'd Fbetter get screwed Bbdown
[Chorus]
It's the EbFinals the N.F.R. the Series of the Bbsport
Hey Ebrookie can you take ten head Ebhave you got the Fheart
You Ebthink you're a tough cowboy we'll find out in the Bbend
When that Ebfinal whistle Fblows and the stock's all in the Bbpen
I Bbnod my head, I'm in a daze the Ebhorse goes boiling out
I Frun my spurrs in-Ebto his neck and Fthen I drag 'em Bbout
My Bbmind is in a blur my Ebeyes are seeing red
The Fflank catch slams in-Ebto my back, his Frump bangs on my Bbhead
From Bbsomewhere in the background I can Ebhear a buzzer sound
My Fhand's jerked from the Ebriggin and I Fcrash into the Bbground
I Ebstumble to my feet as I Bbstagger to the wall
I Fwonder to my-Ebself is it Freally worth it Bball
[Chorus]
It's the EbFinals the N.F.R. the Series of the Bbsport
Hey Ebrookie can you take ten head Ebhave you got the Fheart
You Ebthink you're a tough cowboy we'll find out in the Bbend
When that Ebfinal whistle Fblows and the stock's all in the Bbpen
