[Verse 1]
F C Bb C
Well a note said: "You've had time to think about it.
F C Bb C
Looks like to me you're feelin' kinda crowded.
F C Bb C
You're not looking for anything permanent here,
F C Bb C
so my Rodeo is packed and it's in 'goodbye gear.'

[Verse 2]
F C Bb C
So I shot down to the Longhorn Diner,
F C Bb C
her sister works there and she'd know where to find her.
F C Bb C
She said, "You did not hear this from me,
F C Bb C
all I'll say is momma's got that place out in Monterrey."
[Chorus]
G C D G G C D G
Oh, how fast can I go, I gotta catch that little, red Rodeo.
G C D G
She drove off with my heart, I gotta let her know.
G C D G
Need the girl in that little, red Rodeo.
Em D C G
Texas plates, candy-apple red Rodeo.
[Verse 3]
F C Bb C
Two towns back I showed your photograph
F C Bb C
and the gas-station man just started to laugh.
F C Bb C
"She said I might see you in this old bucket o' rust,
F C Bb C
and said 'Good luck boy.' Just follow that cloud o' dust."
[Chorus]
G C D G G C D G
Oh, how fast can I go, I gotta catch that little, red Rodeo.

Texas plates, candy-apple red Rodeo.

Am G/B C
Maybe I was straddlin' the fence just like she said...
Bb F C
It took her leaving just to get it through my head.
[Verse 4]
F C Bb C
She's the one and only, it's over that's it.
F C Bb C
I'm commited, I'm in love, and I'm desperate.
F C Bb C
She's a good ways gone, but I'm closin' the gap,
F C Bb C
if I have to I'll chase her clear across the map.
[Chorus]
G C D G G C D G
Oh, how fast can I go, I gotta catch that little, red Rodeo.

Em D C G
Texas plates, candy-apple red Rodeo.
