Ninety or Nothin'

from Dirt by Jared Rogerson

lyrics

Hot desert breeze blows the sin away/ Highway to Hell on the California radio/ He pulls into the bright lights, time to lay it on the line/ Sees the preview in is head, how it all goes down tonight/

Star Spangled Banner means it’s almost time/ Feels the leather, hears the resin burning on the rawhide/ Risin’ adrenaline puts his heart in perfect in time with the hoof beats of rough stock in July/ Branded brave or just insane, to him it’s really all the same

There’s a line drawn in the sand between Salinas and Cheyenne/ If it all goes south, I’m sure he’ll think of somethin’/ Tonight he’ll be ninety or nothin’

It’s so hard to hear her voice, when he’s got a choice/ And the sure thing is to turn around and go home/ But he’s feeling lucky, he knows he could have it all/ ‘cause he came out here to fight at this last chance rodeo/ Branded brave or just insane, to him it’s really all the same

There’s a line drawn in the sand between Salinas and Cheyenne/ If it all goes south, I’m sure he’ll think of somethin’/ Tonight he’ll be ninety or nothin’

There’s a line drawn in the sand between Salinas and Cheyenne/ If it all goes south, I pray to God he’ll think of somethin’/ Tonight he’ll be ninety or nothin’

Hot desert breeze blows the sin away/ Highway to Hell on the California radio
