A rodeo's just a rodeo after riding several years 
From ol' Cheyenne to 
Houston they never cause too much fear 
But let me tell you about one that will chill your very soul 
It happens in 
December when it's snowin' and it's cold 
In Oklahoma 
City there's a building of concrete 
It's where the toughest stock and men will gather and compete 
The points have all been tallied and the stock has all been brought 
We've got just two more hours cause it starts at eight o'clock 
It's the Finals the 
NFR the Series of the sport 
Hey rookie can you take ten head have you got the heart 
You think you're a tough cowboy we'll find out in the end 
When that final whistle blows and the stock's all in the pen 
The coliseum's quiet except for the sounds 
Of cowboys getting ready and the workmen of the grounds 
The cowboys ask each other, what each other's got "
Did you draw ol' 
Necklace or pluck old 
Double-Ought 
The tension now is mounting as the crowd starts pouring in 
A shiver goes all through me like from a cold cold wind 
I hear the horses comin' runnin' down the alleyway 
They're snortin' and a blowin' as men shut the sliding gates 
It's the Finals the 
NFR... We had too much time a while ago but not enough time now 
The Anthem is now over the grand entry's going out 
I sit there on my bronc 
I'm ready and 
I wait I hear a chute gate open so 
I look out through the gate 
A horse comes boiling out and blows up at the roof 
And then there comes another kicking like a curly wolf 
I hear the chute boss holler through the yelling of the crowd 
He says there's one ahead of you so you'd better get screwed down 
It's the Finals the 
NFR... I nod my head, 
I'm in a daze the horse goes boiling out 
I run my spurrs into his neck and then 
I drag 'em out 
My mind is in a blur my eyes are seeing red 
The flank catch slams into my back, his rump bangs on my head 
From somewhere in the background 
I can hear a buzzer sound 
My hand's jerked from the riggin and 
I crash into the ground 
I stumble to my feet as 
I stagger to the wall 
I wonder to myself is it really worth it all 
It's the Finals the 
NFR...
