[Verse 1]
Oh no, hey ho
Guess that's the way that life goes
You tell me that you love me
But lately it doesn't show
Right next to me, you're sitting there
But we ain't feeling close
You're staring out the window
Barely touched your tea and toast

[Verse 2]
And last night in your sleep, you called someone's name
And I've been broken before and I'll break again
You talk about the chapel
But we can't seem to get back in the saddle to feed that flame
Yeah, this cowgirl don't wanna play your game

[Pre-Chorus]
I see the guilt behind your eyes each time you go
I realise I'm not the reason for your glow
I hear the lies before you even let them flow
No, you don't get to call the curtains on this show

[Chorus]
I won't cry
Won't let the rivers overflow
'Cause in this life
I ain't afraid to ride alone
Don't patronise
Don't say you love me if you don't
Oh, oh, honey, don't you know?
This ain't my first rodeo
[Verse 3]
I talk, you stall
Guess that just says it all
You're dead behind the eyes
You're like a memory I don't recall
But I remember crossing bridges
I remember climbing walls
I've lived through stormy weather
I can handle this rainfall

[Verse 4]
So don't tell me I'm the jewel in your crown (Jewel in your crown)
When you've been seen on the cheating side of town (Cheating side of town)
Don't gimme that bull, I see through it all
And it ain't gonna fool me this time around
Don't you know this ain't my first showdown

[Pre-Chorus]
I see the guilt behind your eyes each time you go
I realise I'm not the reason for your glow
I hear the lies before you even let them flow
No, you don't get to call the curtains on this show

[Chorus]
I won't cry
Won't let the rivers overflow
'Cause in this life
I ain't afraid to ride alone
Don't patronise
Don't say you love me if you don't
Oh, oh, honey, don't you know?
This ain't my first rodeo
[Bridge]
Kick the dust, saddle up, I'm a stallion
I've learnt enough to know this ain't my shame
I look up at the stars in their millions
Reminding me I live to ride again

[Chorus]
I won't cry
Won't let the rivers overflow
'Cause in this life
I ain't afraid to ride alone
Don't patronise
Don't say you love me if you don't
Oh, oh, honey, don't you know?
This ain't my first rodeo
Rodeo

[Outro]
Go, go, go, go, go
Rodeo
Go, go, go, go, go
Rodeo
Go, go, go, go, go
Rodeo
Go, go, go, go, go
