Hooks & Ride - Slim Dusty

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!

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
