Jerry Angel - Buckle Bunny

Banjo pickin' fiddle weepin' rodeo lights pierce the night
Another eight seconds of glory another buckle another fight
But the thrill fades with the dust clouds a hollowness deep inside
Yearnin' for somethin' more than trophies a love where my heart can confide

She ain't no dusty cowgirl with chaps and a braided mane
She's all city lights and laughter like a summer hurricane
Some might call her a buckle bunny a prize for a champion's hand
But this firecracker with city sass sets my lonely heart a-brand

Rodeo dust swirls 'round the arena spurs a-jinglin' in the heat
Crowd roars like a thunderclap bull bucks wild with flailin' feet
Wrestle glory win or lose another buckle for the shelf
But tonight my heart ain't set on silver yearnin' for somethin' else

She ain't no dusty cowgirl with chaps and a braided mane
She's all city lights and laughter like a summer hurricane
Some might call her a buckle bunny a trophy wife to claim
But this firecracker with city sass sets my lonely soul aflame

Caught her eye across the barroom glitter dress and fiery hair
Spun a yarn a harmless joke or two a spark ignited a bond laid bare
Her gaze ain't lookin' for a prizefighter a champion with a golden belt
She sees the man beneath the Stetson a story yet to be dealt

Whispers in the bunkhouse about her painted city ways
But a wrangler true don't listen to no gossip 'cause real love deserves praise
She don't crave a spread of acres or a fancy silver spoon
Just a love that's honest as the sunrise a melody played beneath a harvest moon

She ain't no dusty cowgirl with chaps and a braided mane
She's all city lights and laughter like a summer hurricane
Some might call her a buckle bunny a trophy wife to claim
But this city gal with starlight in her eyes sets my lonely soul aflame

Buckle bunnies they come and they go chasin' cowboys and rodeo dough
But this one's different I can tell a wild spirit trapped in a city shell
She's got a fire in her soul a yearning for somethin' true
Maybe together we can find a love beneath a western sky of blue

She ain't no dusty cowgirl with chaps and a braided mane
She's all city lights and laughter like a summer hurricane
Some might scoff and call her a buckle bunny a trophy wife to claim
But this city gal with starlight in her eyes sets my lonely soul aflame

Let the wranglers wag their tongues their words won't change a thing
A buckle bunny maybe that's what they see a diamond in the rough
But for me she's the real deal a love strong enough
