Noeline Hofmann | "Rodeo Junkies" | Western AF

Western AF presents Noeline Hofmann
...
Once again, Western as Fuck is blessed with the prairie sounds and wisdom, of the now turned musical troubadour, Noeline Hofmann. She came through our home-base of Laramie earlier this summer during an exciting tour opening for famous acts like Charley Crockett. Even greats such as Turnpike Troubadours and Wyatt Flores are noticing this western gem and will have her at their shows as well. You could say Noeline is taking the world by the horns and claiming her spot in country music history.

Noeline cut this little tune for us at WAF's proxy headquarters, the Prairie Monarch Bison ranch. The owner Dylan was gracious enough to let us use the surrounding area so we could deliver this video for y'all. Noeline arrived a day before in hopes of cutting some performances with us. Unfortunately the weather was not in our favor but the scene we could have shot was epic as most. She was sitting in the back of a truck with other musicians who had passed through, with herds of Buffalo surroundings us and running around. It was amazing.

Noeline, is a storyteller first and always, and she brings you a tale of two characters in a toxic relationship, both with rodeo and with each other. The characters are inspired by the scenes and spirits of some of the gritty farm and rodeo family sorts she grew up around in rural Alberta, such as her friend Katrina - your token badass western woman notorious for putting high riding rodeo cowboys in their place and never being too afraid to get back on again.

Ladies and gentlemen, friends and neighbors, enjoy this wonderful tune, "Rodeo Junkies."

Lyrics:
VERSE 1
Rollin’ dice with some rodeo junkies
In a four-horse trailer’s living quarters
Bud Light bottle full of ‘bacco spit
Far from the only habit
She wish he’d try and quit

CHORUS
It’s been the same old shit every year
And really she should’ve known
Marry a man on the circuit
And around and around you’ll go

VERSE 2
Cabaret in the August dust
Southern Saskatchewan
He was God’s gift to the Silversmith
And she pretended not to know who he was

Knocked him down a few notches
To draw his match for once
The only Can-Chaser at the jackpot
On a Grade mare, but she won

CHORUS (variation)
It’s been the same old shit every year
And really he should’ve known
Marry a girl who runs the pattern
And around and around you’ll go

VERSE 3
Youngest boy of a legacy family
Heavy last name stitched on that sponsor jacket
Black-dirt Betty with the burden of
Knowing her Daddy always wished she were a Son

BRIDGE
Well, there’s some things that you can’t change
And others that you should
There’s knowing ropes and reins from just plain tangles
When it comes to hanging on

One more ride, baby, one more round
One more Rodeo
I swear this time, one more go
One more Rodeo

VERSE 4
Stubborn Colt, cold back, crow-hoppin
Dancing, daring you to try to stay on
Oh there’s nothing she loved more than being
In the round-pen with a tough one

Wasn’t for lack of lunging him
Sure wasn’t for lack of heart
But woah or go?
Green or broke?

All she knows is he loves Rodeo
