Trick Rider
by McBride and the Ride
Intro
Verse 1
I learned back when I was six
Teachin' my stick horse to do tricks
Puttin' on a backyard rodeo
If I'd make him buck, hoop and holler
Grandma'd laugh and give me a dollar
It a lesson that I learned, all on my own
CHORUS
Gotta be a trick rider, can't be a part-timer
If he's gonna make a dollar, one thing I know
You can be a fancy roper, have a wild desire
Oh the trick rider always steals the show
Verse 2
I figured out just how to please 'em
Make the hard ones look so easy
Out there is the spot light all alone
I always tried to do my best
I praticed hard and faked the rest
They always got their money's worth
Everywhere I'd go
Repeat CHORUS
Instrumental
Verse 3
I've been thrown off many times since then
I always got back on again
I found that if I tipped my hat for style
Folks out there would never know
They'd think it was part of the show
I could ride off in the sunset
Leave 'em with a smile
Repeat CHORUS
Yeah, a Trick rider always steals the show
Instrumental out.
