Browse era →You come riding in at midnight with a story on your tongue. Talking like the judge done rule before the trials even begun. You got sparks but no fire. Got smoke but no flame. Just a trailer full of gossip with my
picture on the frame. You take a half truth to the tavern. Let it soak all night and jin. By the time the sun comes up, you swear the devil wrote it in. You paint a little shadow till it covers up
the sky, but a lie dressed like a sermon is still alive. It's a room. Round and round you go. Swinging that lasso like you run a whole show. Big talk, cheap shots, boots full of blame.
New day, same old game. You can dress it up in glory. You can make it sound grand, but gossip ain't gospel just because it's loud and playing. No, you ain't breaking me. You're just putting on a show at the rumor rodeo.
You got a knack for making out laws out of folks you barely know. Turning side eye into headlines everywhere you go. Everybody's got a motive. Everybody's got a crime. You build a whole courthouse out of hearay. Every
time you love guilt by association, guilt by look, by laugh by chair. If somebody waves hello, you say they must be in on there. You throw mud at the wall and
call a pattern proof. But the truth don't need a costume or a bullproof boo. It's a rumor rodeo. Round and round you go. Swinging that lasso like you're on the whole show. Big talk, cheap shots, boos full of blame.
New day, same dust, same old game. You can dress it up in glory. You can make it sound grand. But gossip ain't gospel just because it's loud and planned. Oh, you ain't breaking me or just putting on a show at the rumor rodeo. You can holler from the hilltop from the hilltop. >> You can thunder, you can preach.
>> You can thunder, you can. >> But that don't make it wild. Imagination something true you get to teach. You want a villain for your story. Want a crowd a gap on you, but that mirror on your wall been telling more on
you. I've seen this kind before. Yeah, the town square type of storm. Wrapping up a main streak in some selfrighteous uniform. But I ain't here to wrestle tumble weeds or argue with
the rain. I know the difference between sunshine and somebody's need for fame. So go and sell your spectacle. Go and shake your little cage. Go and act like every rumor ought to earn a center
stage. I'll be standing in the daylight while your echo fades away. Tru's got longer legs than anything you say. There's a room a rodeo.
Round and round you go. Swinging that lasso like you're on a whole show. Big talk. Cheap shots, boos full of blame. New day, same, same old game. You can dress it up in glory. You can make it sound grand, but gospel ain't gospel just because it's loud and planned. No, you ain't breaking me. You're just
putting on a show at the rumor rodeo. Yeah, you can keep on riding circles in your own side show. Oh, I won't be your clown tonight at a rumor rodeo.
Oh.
