Well my car broke down it's in the ditch wish 
I was the son of someone rich 
I'd throw hundred dollar bills out on the road and 
I'd catch me a ride to the rodeo 
There's a mule deer layin' by the road ahead he ain't sleepin' he's damn sure dead 
Venison fryin' in the blazin' sun hey 
I need a ride come on someone 
Yeah my car broke down 
I ain't got no money stuck out on the road 
Hey I need a ride now won't somebody take me to the rodeo [ guitar ] 
There's a buzzard circlin' up in the sky he's lookin' at me with them beady eyes 
Well i don't know but 
I've got a hunch he'd rather have me than that deer for lunch 
Right now 
I wish I'd stayed in school but 
I had to be a rodeo cowboy fool 
And I'll bet my daddy'd sure be proud if he could take a look at his son right now 
Yeah my car broke down... [ guitar ] 
Here comes a blonde in a 
Cadillac she got the top rolled down and her hair tied back 
But she don't look she don't even slow down she just keeps them wheels rollin' around 
Yeah my car broke down... [ guitar ] 
I need a ride come on [ guitar - fiddle ]
