Mudslinger
( Atribute to Mossy Oak Mudslinger
  PBR's Bull Of The Year 2006 )

Mossy Oak Mudslinger, man what a ride,
the pro-riders' pick of the year.
For fellers all know he's the draw of the show
a high point in any career.

Twistin' and leapin' and spinnin' around
 winnin' top marks as a ride,
and knowin' that bull isn't rode as a rule
is reason enough to take pride.

Ratin' the bulls is a yearly event
it takes a high score to prevail:
the energy shown when riders are on
and how many good men have failed.

 Trailin' behind are a string of tough bulls
 includin' one Ol' Doctor Proc.
As orn'ry a ride as ever rubbed hide
except maybe pandora's Box.

Though winnin' the title of Bull Of The Year,
he's retirin' much later tonight.
The men of the game recallin' his name
will vouch for the strength in his fight.

Sayin' goodbye isn't easy at times,
to bulls that have won your respect,
for bullriders need a rip-snortin' breed
so fans get the thrill they expect.

Soon he'll be turned out to do his own thing
like rollin' about on the ground,
throwin' up dirt with horns at a jerk
a fav'rite of that brindle-brown.

Mossy Oak Mudslinger, man what a ride,
the pro-riders' pick of the year.
For fellers all know he's the draw of the show
a high point in any career.
