A Dayton, Texas rodeo
Fossum Potel stole the show way back in 1968
The night he rode old Pearly Gates
There was a spinning, bucking ton of dead
And everybody held their breath
But Fossum rode him to a draw
It was the best bull ride that I ever saw
Fossum, Fossum, where are you?
No one rides bulls like you used to
They haul you off in an ambulance
And you show up later at the victory dance
Fossum, Fossum, get back home
We ain't had no fun
Since you've been gone
With your two-pack cabin and a six-pack bus
You're the best that there ever was
You're the best that there ever was
A two-lane blacktop, a highway fly
That's old Fossum, I ain't lying
An eight-track tape deck blasting Jones
Ernest Tubb and the Rolling Stones
And the beer joints down by the Bucking Shoots
The cowgirls swore
The cowgirls swore
That it was so cute
They just loved the way he cocked his hat
Now Fossum had it all down pat
Fossum, Fossum, where are you?
No one rides bulls like you used to
They haul you off in an ambulance
And you show up later at the victory dance
Fossum, Fossum, get back home
We ain't had no fun
Since you've been gone
With your two-pack cabin and a six-pack bus
You're the best that there ever was
You're the best that there ever was
Ah, the Rainbow Cafe, all jokes aside
The day old Fossum and the Rolling Stones



Like to die at some sweet thing
Flashed in my blue-eyed grin
It made old Fossum's style kick in
A jealous cowboy and drunken wife
Pulled a pistol and a bullet fired
Blood was shed out in a parking lot
But it was not Fossum when the shot
Fossum, Fossum, where are you?
No one rides bulls like you used to
They haul you off in an ambulance
And you show up later at the victory dance
Fossum, Fossum, where are you?
Fossum, Fossum, get back home
We ain't had no fun
Since you've been gone
With your two-pack cabin and a six-pack bus
You're the best that there ever was
You're the best that there ever was
You're the best that there ever was
