on Devil's Rodeo

You say that I treat you all the same
those who leave must have no shame
I'm the girl who runs this game
Of the devil's rodeo
They say my love will drive you do
But you may be just what I need
And romance I take the lead
At the devil's rodeo
My heart is empty but I'm free
What's yours is mine I'm sure you'll see
My love comes with no guarantee
The devil's rodeo
He say you Lupita Is full of greed
you say your love's an evil seed
bring a madman to his knees
At the devil's rodeo

My heart is empty but I'm free
What's yours is mine I'm sure you'll see
My love comes with no guarantee
The devil's rodeo
He say you Lupita Is full of greed
you say your love's an evil seed
bring a madman to his knees
At the devil's rodeo

you love me fulltime but you need
down ? liberty
oh please Lupita set me free
at the devil's rodeo
they say she moves her men with fear
and when we lose there's no one here
all is fair in love my dear
at the lover's rodeo

My heart is empty but I'm free
What's yours is mine you will agree
My love comes with no guarantee
At the devil's rodeo
He say you Lupita Is full of greed
you say your love's an evil seed
bring a madman to his knees
At the devil's rodeo

and when it's over, make your bed
don't you leave or you're dead
it's best for you to keep your head
the devil's rodeo
presume this house there's no reprieve
I never see a loser leave
Lupita makes man believe
that the devil's rodeo

My heart is empty but I'm free
What's yours is mine you will agree
My love comes with no guarantee
At the devil's rodeo
and when it's over, make your bed
don't you leave or you're dead
it's best for you to keep your head
the devil's rodeo
round em up Randy!
