Ain’t My First RodeoWritten by Chris Scott Fieselman

This ain’t, my first tour of duty.This ain’t, my first time in hell.There’s nothing that, you can do to me,That ain’t been done, by someone else.Now I’m a real long way from a virgin,And you sure as hell can’t say that I’m green.My past, ain’t some kind of burden.I can’t begin to tell you all that I’ve seen. I’ve been up. I’ve been down.Take my word, I’ve been around.I’ve been here. I’ve been there.I’ve been all, most everywhere.I have seen, so many things.Been a Pauper. Been a King.Been around this mountain before…No, This Ain’t My First Rodeo…

Now, I’ve been with people in power.Had more than my five – minutes of fame.Been through my share of darkest hours.Enjoyed the hell out of, Playing the Game.I can talk my way out of trouble.You may think you’ve seen my kind before.Well, I hate to have to burst your bubble.But, I always leave them begging for more.
