First Rodeo
It's not my first rodeo
I've fallen plenty of times before
But this one hurt a little more
I didn't see it coming from you
I guess I should have seen the signs
The holes your alibis
Now you want to say goodbye and there's nothing more I can do
The oath of love says, first do no harm
That's the way it should be
Then you walked into another man's arms
It wasn't easy to see
We had it all, well, we had enough
Or so I thought before things got rough
I never knew you were having second thoughts about us
Whatever happened to love
It's not my first rodeo
I've been thrown a hundred times before
But this one hurt a little more
I didn't see it coming from you
Just imagine my surprise
I should have seen it in your eyes
Now you've gone and said goodbye and there's nothing more I can do
I'm heading out now
I'll start again
That's the way it should be
Not concentrating on the rear-view mirror is doing wonders for me
I hope you find your peace of mind
No more living as three of a kind
Maybe someday you'll wish you'd given that chance to us
Before you fell out of love
It's not my first rodeo
Kicked while I'm down many times before
But this one hurt a little more
I didn't see it coming from you
I think it's time to move along
Time to write another song
Forget about you being gone and things that we went through
I'll get back on that horse again
I'm ready for someone new
I've fallen plenty of times before
But this one hurt a little more
I didn't see it coming from you
I guess I should have seen the signs
The holes your alibis
Now you want to say goodbye and there's nothing more I can do
The oath of love says, first do no harm
That's the way it should be
Then you walked into another man's arms
It wasn't easy to see
We had it all, well, we had enough
Or so I thought before things got rough
I never knew you were having second thoughts about us
Whatever happened to love
It's not my first rodeo
I've been thrown a hundred times before
But this one hurt a little more
I didn't see it coming from you
Just imagine my surprise
I should have seen it in your eyes
Now you've gone and said goodbye and there's nothing more I can do
I'm heading out now
I'll start again
That's the way it should be
Not concentrating on the rear-view mirror is doing wonders for me
I hope you find your peace of mind
No more living as three of a kind
Maybe someday you'll wish you'd given that chance to us
Before you fell out of love
It's not my first rodeo
Kicked while I'm down many times before
But this one hurt a little more
I didn't see it coming from you
I think it's time to move along
Time to write another song
Forget about you being gone and things that we went through
I'll get back on that horse again
I'm ready for someone new
