The Bucking Machine-Chris Ledoux

[00:06.07]I've rode lots of horses and I've won a few shows [00:10.95]Ridin' broncs at the big old rodeos [00:14.21]But the dang dest contraption that I've ever seen [00:18.50]Is that bucket of bots called a buckin' machine [00:24.14]The kids they were all lined up to give the thing a go [00:28.16]And when I first saw it Lord it looked pretty slow [00:32.28]It jumped and it kicked then it turned back a twirled [00:36.62]Then I got to thinking I'll give it a whirl [00:41.75]So I pushed through the crowd and I talked to the man [00:46.90]Who had invented this here modified garbage can [00:50.71]I said I'm a twister and one of the best [00:54.93]I'm a wolf of the world boys I must confess [01:00.40]I'll bet you a hundred I said with a grin I'll spur [01:05.64]It so hard its sides will cave in [01:08.94]And the bolts and the screws that hold the dang thing together [01:13.20]Will fall down inside it there and short out its motor [01:18.72]Well the man he said son I'll take that bet [01:22.85]And I won't turn it till you think that you're set [01:27.34]So I got my riggin' and I cinched it on down [01:31.50]Then I said to old Sam go ahead and turn it on [01:37.05]Well it rattled and it groaned then it started to move [01:41.56]I spurred it every jump and Lord it felt mighty smooth [01:45.72]The foam rubber was a flyin' right off of its old neck [01:49.96]And the tin underneath it was startin' to crack [01:54.06] [02:00.42]I looked at the man and I started to say [02:04.93]I'll win me that hundred fore the end of the day [02:09.63]Then he grabbed a big ol' lever with a little sly grin [02:14.08]Jammed it up to high gear and locked it right on in [02:19.10]With a snatch and a jerk and a sharp stabbin' pain [02:23.74]I felt like a hobo tied to an old freight train [02:28.13]My head it went to poppin' and I saw all the starts [02:32.29]The big dipper the milky way and the planet they call Mars [02:38.35]The next thing I knew I was right there on the ground [02:42.31]Just about thirty feet away from that laughin' crowd [02:46.43]So I payed up my hundred and I limped on away [02:50.89]And the words the man I still remember today [02:55.77]So you're a wolf of the world and a real tough twister [03:00.65]Well listen real close to some good advise Mister [03:04.85]Keep a ridin' them old broncs if you're still feeling mean [03:09.23]But you'd better keep clear of Sam's buckin' machine
