His blood runs cold
At the rodeo
As he draws a bull they call the Blue Tornado
2000 pounds of hells on hounds
Cut his teeth on cowboys bones
So he cinches up
And he eases in
And loses somewhere half way through the second spin
And in a dusty haze remembers the better days
That will never be again
The rodeo is over
The lights have all dimmed down
He's just another weathered face
In some lonely old cowtown
And he wants to let go
But He Never Learned How
Now there she stands
Near the holding pen
Holding hands with this years Bedford champion
He keeps his poker face
But in some secret place
It's killing him
So he tips his hat
As he walks on by
And finds it strange that she can't look him in the eye
After all the times she told him that she loved him
When he was riding high
Now the rodeo is over
The lights have all dimmed down
He's just another weathered face
In some lonely old cowtown
And he wants to let go
But He Never Learned How
Oh something in his heart just has to try
To give her one more record breaking ride
It hurts like hell but he don't feel the pain
For a moment he's a hero once again
Now there he lays in the center ring
She's calling out his name but he don't hear a thing
Just the fading sound of the sunday crowd
As the angels start to sing
The rodeo is over
The lights are all dimmed down
On another weathered face
In some lonely old cowtown
And he should have let go
But He Never Learned How
