Lyrics
MECHANICAL BULL
Words and music by Ken Morse (1982)
On a bar stool in Tennessee
I chanced to meet a mechanical bull riding cowgirl on a Saturday night
She had gaps where her teeth once were
the bull would get the best of her
She seemed almost crazy in the neon bar light
She said:
Common guitar picker I?ll show you how to ride
I come here most every night gripping any bull?s hide
Just throw your leg over for the ride of your life
You won?t be the same man again
The lady with the whiskey breath seemed might fall to her death
as she hollered to no one ?crank her on up to ten?
C
That bull started bucking like a mustang on a stormy night
She held on like a wildcat and the bull she did ride
She said:
Common guitar picker I?ll show you how to ride
I come here most every night gripping any bull?s hide
Just throw your leg over for the ride of your life
You won?t be the same man again
She said:
Common guitar picker I?ll show you how to ride
I come here most every night gripping any bull?s hide
Just throw your leg over for the ride of your life
You won?t be the same man again
