The note said, you've had time to think about it Looks like to me you're feelin' kinda crowded You're not lookin' for anything permanent here So my Rodeo's packed and 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 it from me All I'll say is mama's got that place out in Monterrey Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little red Rodeo She drove off with my heart, I've gotta let her know I 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 bucket of rust And said good luck boy, just follow that cloud of dust Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little red Rodeo She drove off with my heart, I've gotta let her know I need the girl in that little red Rodeo Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo Maybe I was straddling 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, gotta catch that little red Rodeo She drove off with my heart, I've gotta let her know I need the girl in that little red Rodeo Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo
