First Rodeo Lyrics

[Verse 1: Corey Hart]
My wheels ain't broken, that's for true
Voice feels raspy, but my eyes still blue
Sometimes, I'm scraping under a hornets nest
Nasty buzzing gives me no rest
But that's okay
Just like Faye Dunaway

[Pre-Chorus: Corey Hart]
So I wrote me a song as the snow melt
I better play with the cards I've been dealt
Went to the waters edge at high tide
I better pay the ferryman if I wanna ride

[Chorus: Corey Hart]
This ain't my first rodeo
No one-trick pony show
This ain't my first rodeo

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh

[Verse 2: Jim Cuddy]
Young man running, thought he understood
When folks made a promise, their word was good
But now he knows way things go
Dreams die faster than the wind can blow
Them away
Oh, they just drift away
[Pre-Chorus: Corey Hart with Jim Cuddy]
So I wrote me a song about the high and low
I won't get rattled moving with the flow
Jumping back in the race, hitting four on the floor
Got grooves in my pocket, kicking open the door, yeah

[Chorus: Corey Hart & Jim Cuddy]
This ain't my first rodeo
No one-trick pony show
This ain't my first rodeo

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh

[Bridge: Corey Hart]
So I'm going home to where I started
Hitch a ride on the crossroad caravan
There's no fire across fields departed
A million miles in my shoes
Is the sweetest journey traveling song
Oh yeah
It's always been where I belong
Oh na-na-na-na-na, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Corey Hart & Jim Cuddy]
So I went to the water's edge at high tide
You better pay the ferryman if you wanna ride, yeah
[Chorus: Corey Hart & Jim Cuddy]
This ain't my first rodeo
No one-trick pony show
This ain't my first rodeo

[Post-Chorus: Corey Hart & Jim Cuddy]
Oh, my first rodeo (My first rodeo)
Here's what I said, na-na-na

[Outro: Corey Hart & Jim Cuddy]
This ain't my first rodeo
This ain't my first
Nothing so good that it can't be broken
Nothing so bad that you can't fix it up
This ain't my first rodeo
This ain't my first

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
