Slim Dusty - Hooks & Ride lyrics

If you want-a make a name in the rodeo game Then you gotta get onto that high You've got a screw down put your faith in the clown Hit him with the hooks and ride Hit him with the hooks and ride Listen to the crowd go wild You're hangin' up there with spur and prayer And it feels like dynamite If you want-a make a name then you gotta be game And livin' you're life to the full If you want-a get a buck you gotta knuckle Down on the hide of a bull Hit him with the hooks and ride Listen to the crowd go wild You're hangin' up there with spur and prayer And it feels like dynamite If you want-a make a name in the rodeo game Then you gotta get onto that high You've got a screw down put your faith in the clown Hit him with the hooks and ride. Hey! Hit him with the hooks and ride Listen to the crowd wild You're hangin' up there with spur and prayer And it feels like dynamite If you want-a bring a name in the rodeo game Then you gotta get onto that high You've got a screw down put your faith in the clown Hit him with the hooks and ride. Hey! Instrumental When you've got your name on the wall of fame And you've hung up your rope an' boots When the kids ask you what you used to do "I used to ride bulls out of rodeo shoots" Hit him with the hooks and ride Breakin' down the milk inside You've seen Troy Dunn make it look like fun Hit him with the hooks and ride If you want-a make a name in the rodeo game Then you gotta get onto that high You've got a screw down put your faith in the clown Hit him with the hooks and ride Hit him with the hooks and ride Hit him with the hooks and ride
