Trouble In The Country

There were signs of a struggle at the rodeo grounds
 There was a body in the bleachers not making no sounds
 Blood in the grandstand, blood on the seats
 The county cops called in the mounted police
 There's trouble in the country, trouble country style
 Don't blink twice or you'll miss it by a country mile
 Trouble in the country, trouble country style
 Don't think twice or you'll miss it by a country mile
 We took a bulldogger's money from him playin' stook
 But he's an oklahoma thug and he didn't want it took
 Pistol came out so we played some more
 Lost most of it back to him, headed for the door
 Tried to sell my cows but the border got closed
 So we'll tighten up the belt and ride it out I spose
 Feedin calved out heifers and their young uns too
 Spending money on hay to feed beef I can't use
 Larry lost a thumb when he dallied too quick
 At the jackpot ropin down on boundary crick
 When we was all kids that's the first thing we learned!
 That the reata bites and the saddle horn burns
 So it's thumbs up, brother, when you take your turns
 But when the money gets big people get hurt
