Dayton Texas rodeo Possum Potez stole the show
|
Way back in 1968 the night he rode ol' Pearly Gates
|
It was a spinning bucking ton of death and everybody held their breath
|
Possum rode him to a draw it was the best bull ride I ever saw
|
Possum Possum where are you no one rides bulls like you used to
|
They haul you off in the ambulance and you show up later at the victory dance
|
Possun Possum get back home we ain't had no fun since you've been gone
|
With your two pack habit and a six pack buzz you're the best that there ever was
|
You're the best that there ever was
|
Two lone black top highway flyin' that's ol' possum I ain't lyin'
|
Eight track tape deck Blasting Jones Ernest Tubb and The Rolling Stones
|
In the beer joints and down by the bucking shoots
|
The cowgirls swore that he was so cute
|
They just love the way that he cocked his hat Possum had it all down pat
|
Possum Possum where are you...
|
You're the best that there ever was
|
Ah rainbow cafe all jokes aside the day ol' Possum like to died
|
Some sweet thing flashed him a blue eyed grin made ol' Possum's style kick in
|
A jealous cowboy all drunk and wired pulled a pistol and a bullet fired
|
Blood was shed out in the parking lot but it was not Possum wound up shot
|
Possum Possum where are you...
|
You're the best that there ever was you're the best that there ever was
