Lyrics: Vidana A.
Music: Vidana A.
Dust in the air and the crowd ran loud
Friday night with a wild rodeo crowd
Boots on the ground and a band playing low
That's the night I met her at the rodeo
She had that laugh like a summer wind
Eyes that pulled you right on in
Leaning on that old fence rail
Like a story I was bound to tell
Didn't know her name just yet
But I knew she'd be hard to forget
I met her at the rodeo
Under those neon lights
Where the wild ones come alive
On Friday night
One look and I was done
Yeah, I already knew
That girl was trouble I'd run into
From the moment that you smiled my way
Nothing else mattered from that day
Yeah, life changed more than I could know
When I met her at the rodeo
We danced slow by the pickup line
Talked about dreams like we had all night
She said, "You ain't from around here, are you?"
I said, "No, but I might stay for you"
Fireworks lit up the midnight sky
She leaned close and time went by
Felt like something I couldn't explain
Like sunshine mixed with rain
Some nights just don't let go
And this one carved into my soul
I met her at the rodeo
Where the wild hearts run
Where the dust meets fire and night's just begun
One kiss and the world spun slow
Right there at the rodeo
Every laugh, every look she gave
Still echoes like a song that stays
Yes, some moments never let you go
Like the night I met her at the rodeo
Don't know where that road went wrong
Or why it didn't last too long
But some things ain't meant to stay
Just change you along the way
I met her at the rodeo
And I still see her now and then
In every song, in every crowd
Some loves burn bright then fade too slow
Like that night at the rodeo
Every mile on every road I roam
Still leads me back to that moment I know
Yeah, I carry it wherever I go
I met her at the rodeo
Dust still rises when I close my eyes
Hear a laugh in the midnight sky
And no matter where this life may go
I met her at the rodeo
