When I first saw you, I didn't think you were too pretty
Kinda dumb looking and tell you the truth really ugly
But I wanted and needed what you had to offer
So I swallowed my pride and together, we hit the road
Rodeo Rose, I'm mighty glad that you're mine
You're the best thing this cowboy ever could find
You've been with me mile after mile and never complained
And the way that I treated you, I never thought
You could ever stand the strain
The weeks and the months we have known have turned into years
And you have stuck by me through all the hard times and the tears
And I know you can't hear me because you don't have any ears
Oh, but that doesn't matter at all, I still love you so
Rodeo Rose, I'm mighty glad that you're mine
You're the best thing this cowboy ever could find
You've been with me mile after mile and never complained
And it wouldn't surprise me if you're the first truck
In the cowboy hall of fame
