text: We pull into town, try to find the fairgrounds
  Park this Cadillac out back, behind the loading chutes
  Finally made the big show, traveling with the rodeo
  Im one of the boys that make sure nobody pays with their
  Life aint easy for a joker like me
  Ive got a smile painted on my face
  Its only make believe
  Shes got me where she wants me
  Got me blinking when they cover the gate
  Im afraid someones gonna get hurt
  Cause Im not thinking straight
  Im in love with the rodeo queen
  A clown in love with the rodeo queen
  Every night the crowd goes wild when they see her riding
  Shining like a diamond, she dont even know my name
  I try to turn my feelings off before they load the roughstock
  Gotta get my stuff together, take a shot and forget
  How much time stands still when the bull starts spinning
  When the bull starts spinning
  When the bull starts spinning
  And baby bye, Ill tell you right
  I might work up the nerve to tell her right
  I aint just some fool in a barrel no
  Theres a real heart beating underneath my
  Over-sized wranglers, yellow suspenders
  I might look like it but I aint a pretender
  No no
  I gotta tell her, gotta tell her
  Gotta tell her that
  Shes got me where she wants me
  Got me blinking when they cover the gate
  Im afraid someones gonna get hurt
  Cause Im not thinking straight
  Shes got me where she wants me
  Got me blinking when they cover the gate
  Im afraid someones gonna get hurt
  Cause Im not thinking straight
  Im in love with the rodeo queen
  A clown in love with the rodeo queen
