[Intro: Soft Piano, Wind, Distant City] Ooh... [Verse 1: Intimate, Breathypiano only] Empty seat where you used to laugh Red dress shadow in a photograph Sunset fading down an empty boulevard Engine running but I'm missing your heart [Pre-Chorus: Add Bass and Pad] Black car cold night city lights so low Every storefront says I told you so [Chorus: Full Band, Gated Drums, Power Vocal, Harmonies] She left it on Rodeo Heart on the boulevard nowhere to go Top down tears up radio low We had it all and we let it go She left it on Rodeo [Verse 2: Strip back slightly] Sunglasses sitting on the dashboard now Can't see clear through the sunset anyhow You said forever in a borrowed dress Now forever's just a beautiful mess [Pre-Chorus: Building] And the palm trees whisper what we both know [Chorus: Bigger Drums, Strings Swell] She left it on Rodeo Lipstick trace on the rear view glow Sun up broke down on this lonely road We had it all and we let it go She left it on Rodeo [Bridge: Breakdown, Guitar Solo, Emotional Belt] Ooh it must have been something real Now it's just the way the empty boulevards feel [Guitar Solo: Clean Chorus Guitar, Melodic] [Final Chorus: Double, Power Harmonies, Key Lift] She left it on Rodeo Heart on the concrete begging don't go Top down sun up and I'm all alone We had it all She left it on Rodeo [Outro: Piano Only, Whisper] She left it... on Rodeo...
