Rodney Crowell - Ballad Of Possum Potez lyrics

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 d**h 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 co*ked his hat Possum had it all down pat Possum Possum where are you... You're the best that there ever was [ guitar ] 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
