Steppin' Down

from Peace, Love & Horses by Jared Rogerson

lyrics

It's been too long since I rode a bull/ I hung it up when I went to school/ Now I got this job, I wear this frown/ So tonight I’m stepping down

Listen up boys, try to understand/ I'll draw you a picture to make it make sense/ There's the dirt, here's the clown/ Tonight I’m stepping down

(Chorus)
I’m stepping down to ride a bull tonight at the rodeo/ And I'll slide down on his back and away we go/ Spinning round and round we'll be the highlight of the show/ Before I go, I want you to know tonight I'm stepping down

Me and my girlfriend, we had a fight/ There was this other guy, guess I was right/ Been there before, I see the door/ Tonight I'm stepping down

(Chorus)
I’m stepping down to ride a bull tonight at the rodeo/ And I'll slide down on his back and away we go/ Spinning round and round we'll be the highlight of the show/ Before I go, I want you to know tonight I'm stepping down

(Bridge)
Promises and promotions, we all have our share/ But sometimes this ol' life seems more than we can bear/ And the best way to the top could be spinnin’ round and round/ And sometimes to move up, you gotta step back down

About four seconds, a score of zero/ Out of a job, but I'm a hero/ I’ve got my pride and a new girlfriend/ So tonight I’m stepping down

(Chorus)
I’m stepping down to ride a bull tonight at the rodeo/ And I'll slide down on his back and away we go/ Spinning round and round we'll be the highlight of the show/ I gotta go ride another bull, tonight I'm stepping down
