Took a big trip
 With your old band
 To your homeland
 For the wrong man

 Making big plans
 For your own sake
 Hope they don’t bend
 Hope they don’t break

 Took a tip from a rodeo show
 Get a grip or you’re gonna get thrown
 Take your aim when you take a shot
 For the man under you will take everything you got

 Take the pills that they give you mornings
 Spit them out when they aren’t looking
 Keep a smile but you burn it hot
 It’s a mad, mad, world

 Take the pills that they give you mornings
 Spit them out when they aren’t looking
 Fix a smile but you burn it hot
 It’s a mad, mad, world
