Homeroom Rodeo

(Written by Jason Dyniewski to the tune of Rodeo by Garth Brooks)

verse 1
Their eyes are cold and restless
The months have marched to Fall
And they’ll sit through in-service
Before they decorate the walls
They know their love’s in reaching
A brand new group of souls
While it ain’t no ‘coaster, up and down
It’s that homeroom rodeo

chorus
Well, it’s pens and crayons
It’s lesson plans
It’s art on the classroom door
It’s meetings on break
And cafeteria aid
Then take them back for more
They’ll celebrate
One hundred days
Might lose some days to snow
It’s the hugs and the grades
It’s the joy and the aches
And they call it homeroom rodeo

verse 2
They work so hard to teach them
To strive to be their best
And sometimes just to reach them
Is the measure of success
Those chairs are filled with blessings
Some face a tougher road
All children pack more than a snack
To that homeroom rodeo

chorus
Well, it’s pens and crayons
It’s lesson plans
It’s art on the classroom door
It’s meetings on break
And cafeteria aid
Then take them back for more
They’ll celebrate
One hundred days
Might lose some days to snow
It’s the hugs and the grades
It’s the joy and the aches
And they call it homeroom rodeo

verse 3
It’ll drive a teacher crazy
It’ll bring them to their knees
And they’ll try any way they can
Just to get their class to see
That the worksheets and the homework
Isn’t all they have to show
For the time they spent together
In that homeroom rodeo

chorus
Well, it’s pens and crayons
It’s lesson plans
It’s art on the classroom door
It’s meetings on break
And cafeteria aid
Then take them back for more
They’ll celebrate
One hundred days
Might lose some days to snow
It’s the hugs and the grades
It’s the joy and the aches
And they call it homeroom rodeo

It’s the desk and the chairs
It’s the love and the prayers
And they call it homeroom rodeo
