Rodeo Monkey

This was inspired by, Jukebox - "This One Deserves A Title"

Rodeo Monkey

She painted me a picture in black and white,
then held up a mirror in broad daylight.
It was no crocodile I saw in denial,
It's the Rodeo Monkey riding me
in the trials

He's the Rodeo Monkey, he sure can ride,
He's riding me hard cause he knows I'm fried
I can't shake him off he's holding on fast
I've got a monkey on my back and my old lady on my ass

I thought I was taking everything in stride
It felt like I was on a real cool ride
I had some scooby snacks and whiskey to drink
Now the Rodeo Monkey holds my head in the sink

He's the Rodeo Monkey,  he sure can ride,
He's riding me hard cause he knows I'm fried
I can't shake him off, he's holding on fast
I've got a monkey on my back and my old lady on my ass

If you think you can just play for free
stop for a minute, take some advise from me
When you want to take a ride on the ole buzz train
Be ready to pay the Rodeo Monkey for bringing the pain

He's the Rodeo Monkey,  he sure can ride,
He's riding me hard cause he knows I'm fried
I can't shake him off, he's holding on fast
I've got a monkey on my back and my old lady on my ass
