Addicted

from Peace, Love & Horses by Jared Rogerson

lyrics

My teachers tried to warn me, stay away from that powerful stuff/ My dad said son if you get started you won't ever be able to stop/ Look at me now I'm doing fine and I'm happy to admit/ I don't believe that hype you know I got a good life, but they say I'm addicted

(Chorus)
Addicted to drivin' down the road ridin' bronc’s and havin' fun/ Addicted, well I'm really not, I could quit it any time I want/ Even if I was hooked on rodeo, at least I’m not addicted to liquor or drugs/ Well I could blow all my money and break all my bones, but I would never hurt anyone

I've always been the kind to be in control, I tell you that in my defense/ 'Cause the kind of bronc’s I've been drawin’ lately's got me questioning my common sense/ Addiction’s a form of weakness, I know that to be true/ You're gonna pay for a habit, I pray I don't have it just between me and you

(Chorus)
Addicted to drivin' down the road ridin' bronc’s and havin' fun/ Addicted, well I'm really not, I could quit any time I want/ Even if I was hooked on rodeo, at least I'm not addicted to liquor or drugs/ It’s broken bones and bruises and self-induced abuses that'll never hurt anyone

(Bridge)
I’ve been thinkin' of slowin' down to spend some more time at home/ I bought my girl a diamond ring so she don’t have to be alone

I ran into Eb Richie the other day, I asked him if he gets the itch/ I said it's twenty years since you been on a bull I guess you finally got it licked/ Then his eyes went wild and he started to shake, he said it hits him every spring/ I said thanks Eb you're not helping me any, now I gotta hock a diamond ring

(Chorus)
Addicted to drivin’ down the road ridin' bronc’s and having fun/ Addicted, well I really thought that I could quit it anytime I want/ Now I’m sittin' here jones'n for a rodeo, might as well be liquor or drugs/ Well I could blow all my money and break all my bones and I would never get enough

Well I blew all my money and that ain’t funny 'cause I just can't give it up
