How Many Rodeos

Sunday morning in a no-tell motel bed

Whiskey dreams still swirling in my head

Commando cowgirl with boots on by my side

Vague memories of another barroom fight

Ch

How many bulls must I ride

To get to eight and take home first prize

A golden buckle that shines like gold in the sky

The sun don’t quit round here neither do I

How many rodeos does it take to get it right

V2

Tomorrow I’ll still be black and blue

With yesterday’s temporary tattoos

Last night’s love will be gone by noon

Got Vegas and Houston coming soon

Ch

How many bulls must I ride

To get to eight and take home first prize

A golden buckle that shines like gold in the sky

The sun don’t quit round here neither do I

How many rodeos does it take to get it right

V3

My hopes are high but my chances bad

Like a armadillo crossing a highway 

Someday I’m gonna make it to the other side

Yeah I’ll get there dead or alive

Ch

How many bulls must I ride

To get to eight and take home first prize

A golden buckle that shines like gold in the sky

The sun don’t quit round here neither do I

How many rodeos does it take

to get it right

to get it right

    Great story Elvis, captured the raw extract of the circuit. Some lovely lines in there particularly the Armadillo, loved that!

    Putting it to music?

    Now sing it add drums bass and this time slide guitar Sid

    5 session players , if you add in BGV's . What did I do ? Borrowed from Suno as a tool . The key was in E , lowered it to C

    And use live players . The robots were trained on hits , So took advantage of it . Dated melodies are a problem , you want to be current .

    Thats Nicky V a Nashville session player mentioned in Topics , Will AI replace session players

    Thanks

  • Bit of a melancholic vibe to it. Bit of dirt and grit as well.

    Lyric reads well. I particularly like "no-tell motel"

    You just know that one win won't be enough. He's going to keep going until he cant do it anymore.

  • The guitar playing. Wow! I can listen to it all day.

    These lyrics grabbed me:

    "The sun don’t quit round here neither do I"

    "My hopes are high but my chances bad

    Like a armadillo crossing a highway 

    Someday I’m gonna make it to the other side

    Yeah I’ll get there dead or alive"

    I really love your music! I can hear it playing in mainstream.

    The crisp clear sounds make it even better.

    Well I guess keep her boots on in bed , like a cowboy movie . I've kinda seen that scene . though it's been years in a no tell motel lol

  • If the no tell motel is run by Vincent price and he asks to remove your boots for you, just say no 😂
  • Ha Ha Ha , right
  • is this like how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop 🤔😂
