Dixie was a lady and a Rodeo Queen
Billy was her lover ah you know what I mean
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
Billy rode the bulls in the big Rodeo
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Dixie loved her man and she told him so
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Dixie loved her man and she told him so
Brought a bad bull to the big Rodeo
Said He`d killed a man out in New Mexico
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
Dixie said Billy please don`t go
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Don`t ride the killer in the Rodeo
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
You`re the only man that I love and I need you so

Then Billy he looked at Dixie

D MajorD A augmentedA
Well I`m a wild bull rider and I love my Rodeo

If my pappy was a pistol I`m a son of a gun

I ride wild bulls just to have some fun

BB E MajorE
And the higher they get is a little too low for me
D MajorD A augmentedA
I said the higher they get is a little too low for me
Billy rode that killer out of New Mexico
He rode him cross the Rockies through the rain and the snow

Rode across the desert to the shining sea

Rode across the water out to Hawaii

Billy rode that bull around the world and then
He rode him out to Jupiter and back again
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
Picked up Dixie and away they did fly
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Like a shooting star sailing through the sky
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Like a shooting star sailing through the sky
And I could hear Billy say he said
I`d rather be a lover than a fighter of wars
Be from Oklahoma than the nebulous stars
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
Spent a lot of time in some honky tonk bars
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
From memphis to the China Sea
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
From memphis to the China Sea
D MajorD A augmentedA
And I`m a wild bull rider and I love my Rodeo
D MajorD
I`d ride that bull to Hell and back

If my pappy was a pistol I`m a son of a gun

Released as a single from the album, it made it to 21 on the country charts. Even so it got more than it´s share of airplay on the radio at the time.
