Saw your picture on a poster
In a cafe out in Phoenix
Guess you’re still the sweetheart of the rodeo
As for me and little Kasey,
We still make the circuit
In a one-horse trailer and a mobile home
And she still asks about you all the time
And I guess we never even cross your mind
Chorus:
But oh sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins
With the sunlight on your hair
And oh the crowd will always love you
But as for me, I’ve come to know
Everything that glitters is not gold
But Ol’ Red, he’s gettin’ older
And last Saturday he stumbled
But you know I just can’t bear to let him go
Little Kasey, she’s still growin’
And she started askin’ questions
And there’s certain things a man just doesn’t know
Her birthday came and you never even called
I guess we never cross your mind at all
Repeat Chorus
Everybody said you’d make it big someday
And I guess that we were only in your way
But someday I’m sure you’re gonna know the cost
Cause for everything you win, there’s something lod
