Hot Day In Laramie (Larry W. Jones 08/21/2007) (song#4861)
I hear the band strike up
See the fireworks explode
Set down my coffee cup
Recite the cowboy code
Still hungry from last night
Strap my spurs on my boots
Pray the judge calls it right
As I climb up the chute
Joe and I rode the rodeo circuit
Starting in the spring of sixty five
Oh, we both thought we knew how to work it
I sure wish old Joe was still alive
It was on a hot day in Laramie
Joe rode that bad bull for only four
The last sad words my old pal said to me
I won't be ridin' bad bulls no more
Bull riding was in our blood
Before it was in our head
Rodeos in rain and mud
More than once we both bled
Bonnie, I think of you
Please leave the porch light on
Bonnie, I love you true
See you soon back at home
- instrumental -
That big rodeo in old Laramie
Is the one all the old cowboys call
The roughest, toughest one they've ever seen
And they saw many good cowboys fall
Joe drew the one that they named Raging Storm
He held on but not for very long
Four seconds and Joe went over the horns
Poor Joe, he ain't ever goin' home
Bull riding was in our blood
Before it was in our head
Rodeos in rain and mud
More than once we both bled
Bonnie, I think of you
Please leave the porch light on
Bonnie, I love you true
See you soon back at home
