Worum geht es in dem Song?

Die Ballade von Possum Potez erzählt die Geschichte eines talentierten Bullenreiters namens Possum Potez. Er war bekannt...

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 death 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 Possum 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 cocked his hat Possum had it
All down pat Possum Possum where are you... You're
The best that there ever was [ guitar ] ]
Ah rainbow café 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
