Well the note said you've had time to think about it Looks like to me you're feeling kinda crowded You're not looking for anything permanent here So my Rodeo's packed and it's in goodbye gear
So I shot down to the Longhorn Diner Her sister works there and she'd know where to find ehr She said you did not hear this from me All I'll say is momma's got that place out in Monterey
(Chorus) Oh, how fast can I go Gotta catch that little red Rodeo She drove off with my heart I got to let her know Need the girl in that little red Rodeo Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo
Two towns back I showed your photograph And the gas station man just started to lauth She said I might see you in this old bucket of rust And said 'Good luck boy just follow that cloud of dust'
Chorus
Maybe I was stradling the fence just like she said It took her leavin' just to get it through my head
She's the one and only It's over, that's it I'm committed I'm in love and I'm desperate She's a good ways gone but I'm closing the gap If I have to I'll chase her clear across the map
