This Aint My First Rodeo

Written by Vern Gosdin, Hank Cochran and Max Barnes
Performed by Vern Gosdin

You say your mama called and you must go
She's down in the bed and needs you so
And you don't know if you'll be coming home tonight or not
Well honey ain't your mama sick a lot?

Lately your head hurts every night
Could it be you wear your clothes too tight?
But since you don't seem to hear a single thang I say or do
Then I guess there's nothing I can do for you

This ain't my first rodeo
This aint the first time this ol'cowboy's been throwed
This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show
This ain't my first rodeo

You're telling me you lost your wedding band
You say somehow it slipped right off yer hand
And when I asked about those boxes stacked there by the door
You say, it's just some old things you don't wear no more

I didn't make it all the way through school
But my mama didn't raise any fools
I may not be the Einstein of our time
But honey I'm not dumb and I'm not blind

This ain't my first rodeo
This aint the first time this ol'cowboy's been throwed
This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show honey
This ain't my first rodeo

This ain't my first rodeo
This aint the first time this ol'cowboy's been throwed
