“Papa Was a Rodeo” by The Magnetic Fields

Papa was a rodeo; Mama was a rock ’n’ roll band.
I could play guitar and rope a steer before I learned to stand.
Home was anywhere with diesel gas; love was a trucker’s hand. 
Never stuck around long enough for a one-night stand.

Before you kiss me, you should know:
Papa was a rodeo.
