1
They say that a man just doesn't grow up
2
'Till he's forty odd years old
3
Such was the case of young Kelly James
4
And everybody knows
5
He had a place on the back stretch
6
Out near the race track
7
Made money on the horses he broke
8
Had him a girl that he loved dearly
9
Name of Rodeo Rose
10
Young Kelly James and Rodeo Rose
11
They lived heart to heart
12
And up and down the streets of our town
13
You would never see them apart
14
'Till one day Rodeo Rose up and left him
15
And she never came back again
16
To this very day when you ask Kelly James
17
He says he doesn't understand
18
'Cause she wanted him crazy
19
But not that crazy
20
Wild, but not that wild
21
And they were going to settle down and get married some day
22
And maybe have themselves a child
23
Breaking horses and dealing in cattle
24
And living way over the edge
25
With the possibility he might always stay free
26
And she couldn't take the chance
27
Young Kelly James stayed in that place
28
And everything worked out alright
29
'Cept he'd go out drinking and shooting up the town
30
On some odd Saturday night
31
And they'd throw him in jail
32
And I'd go down and get him
33
And I'd put him back out on the street
34
And he'd stay straight, and he'd be okay
35
For another couple of weeks
36
'Cause she wanted him crazy
37
But not that crazy
38
Wild, but not that wild
39
And they were going to settle down and get married someday
40
And maybe have themselves a child
41
Breaking horses and dealing in cattle
42
And living way over the edge
43
With the possibility he might always stay free
44
And she couldn't take the chance
45
Rodeo Rose, now, she lives in the suburbs
46
In a house with a two car garage
47
She's got a steady husband
48
And a couple of children
49
And nothing hardly ever goes wrong
50
'Cept Rodeo Rose, she drinks too much, too
51
And when she does, she gets wild
52
She gets crying about horses, and underfed cattle
53
And always a month behind
54
'Cause she wanted him crazy
55
But not that crazy
56
Wild, but not that wild
57
And they were going to settle down and get married some day
58
And maybe have themselves a child
59
Breaking horses and dealing in cattle
60
And living way over the edge
61
With the possibility he might always stay free
62
And she couldn't take the chance
63
With the possibility he might always stay free
64
And she couldn't take the chance
65
They say that a man just doesn't grow up
66
'Till he's forty odd years old
