Text: Collin Raye. Little Red Rodeo.

Well the note said, "You've had time to think about it"
Looks like to me you're feeling kinda crowded
You're not looking for anything permanent here
So my Rodeo's packed, and it's in goodbye gear

So I shot down to the Longhorn Diner
Her sister works there, and she'd know where to find her
She said, "You did not hear this from me"
All I'll say is momma's got that place out in Monterrey

Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little red Rodeo
She drove off with my heart, I've got to let her know
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo

Two towns back I showed your photograph
And the gas station man just started to laugh
"She said I might see you in this old bucket of rust"
And said, "Good luck boy, just follow that cloud of dust"

Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little red Rodeo
She drove off with my heart, I've got to let her know
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo

Maybe I was straddling the fence just like she said
It took her leavin' just to get it through my head
She's the one and only, it's over, that's it
I'm committed, I'm in love and I'm desperate
She's a good ways gone, but I'm closing the gap
If I have to I'll chase her clear across the map

Oh, how fast can I go, gotta catch that little red Rodeo
She drove off with my heart, I've got to let her know
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo

Yeah, how fast can I go, I gotta catch that little red Rodeo
She drove off with my heart, I got to let her know
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo

Now how fast can I go, gotta catch that little red Rodeo
She drove off with my heart, I've got to let her know
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo
