Who was once a bull-hooking son of a gun Now who keeps a pipe hid out behind the chuteAnd who was ridin' high till a pretty girl rode him to the groundAny kid knows where to find me, I'm Vandy the rodeo clownHim the ridin' and the ropin'Vandy the rodeo clownI was closin' in on number oneNow in dreams at night I ride on that silver satelliteNumber oneSince she left me the whiskeyTakes me to the rodeo groundsWhere the cowboys think I'm handyI'm Vandy the rodeo clownAnd I could ride them allThe bulls and the broncs knew I was bossBut to ride that woman took me onBroke a whole lot more than this old cowboy's bonesWhile the tears on my makeupMelt my painted smile into a crownThe crowd thinks I'm a dandyI'm Vandy the rodeo clownAnd I could ride them allThe bulls and the broncs knew I was bossBut to ride that woman took me onBroke a whole lot more than this old cowboy's bonesWhile the tears on my makeupMelt my painted smile into a crownThe crowd thinks I'm a dandyI'm Vandy the rodeo clownThe crowd thinks I'm a dandyI'm Vandy the rodeo clownI'm Vandy the rodeo clown
