Well, a note said, ?You've had time to think about it

Looks like to me you're feelin' kinda crowded

You're not looking for anything permanent here

So my rodeo is packed and it's in 'goodbye gear'?

So I shot down to the Longhorn Diner

Her sister works there and she'd know where to find her

She said, "You didn't hear this from me

All I'll say is momma's got that place out in Monterrey"

Oh, how fast can I go? I gotta catch that little red rodeo

She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know

Need the girl in that little red rodeo

Texas plates, candy-apple red rodeo

Two towns back I showed your photograph

And the gas-station man just started to laugh

She said, ?I might see you in this old bucket o' rust?

And said, ?Good luck boy, just follow that cloud o' dust"

Oh, how fast can I go? I gotta catch that little red rodeo

She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know

Need the girl in that little red rodeo

Texas plates, candy-apple red rodeo

Or maybe I was straddlin' the fence just like she said

It took her leaving to get it through my head

She's the one and only, it's over that's it

I'm committed, I'm in love and I'm desperate

She's a good ways gone, but I'm closin' the gap

If I have to I'll chase her clear across the map

Oh, how fast can I go? I gotta catch that little red rodeo

She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know

Need the girl in that little red rodeo

Texas plates, candy-apple red rodeo

Yeah, how fast can I go? Gotta catch that little red rodeo

She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know

Need the girl in that little red rodeo

Texas plates, candy-apple red rodeo

Now how fast can I go? Let's go
