| This time he sure drew a bad one |
| One that nobody could ride |
| But by the way he pulled his hat on |
| You knew he'd be there for the fight |
| And it's the classic contradiction (Bb-Bb-F) |
| The unavoidable affliction |
| Well, it don't take much to predict, son |
| The way it always goes |
| 'Cuz one day she says she loves you (Bb-Bb-F) |
| And the next she'll be tired of you |
| And push'll always come to shove you |
| On that midnight rodeo |
| Solo : F Bb-Bb-F C F-F-C |
| He almost made it to the buzzer |
| Somehow he gave up in the end |
| They put one hand around the other |
| And let that pick-up man hone in |
| And it was his last chance to ride her |
| And now he'll have to move along |
| But he knows back in his mind |
| He won't be away for long |
| And it's the classic contradiction |
| The unavoidable affliction |
| Well, it don't take much to predict, son |
| The way it always goes |
| 'Cuz one day she says she loves you |
| And the next she'll be tired of you |
| And push'll always come to shove you |
| On that midnight rodeo |
| Let's have a hand for that young cowboy (Bb-Bb-F) |
| And wish him better luck next time |
| And hope we see him up in Fargo |
| Or somewhere farther down the line End : Bb-Am-C |
