Down on Rodeo Lyrics
After the music ended there was
nowhere to go but down.
Faces of glass all hung in the past they
only come here to drown.
They were long gone, far gone nowhere
else to go.
Long gone, far gone down on Rodeo
We never took quite enough chances we
never had quite enough time.
I did about a thousand dances but
nothing would change your mind.
You were long gone, far gone putting
on you show.
Long gone, far gone down on Rodeo
I'm going where nobody's gone before
ain't never coming back
That's just the way it goes sometimes
the price is a little too much.
Two little children on reveille hill we
looked but we couldn't touch.
We were long gone, far gone looking in the window.
Long gone, far gone down on Rodeo.
Down on Rodeo
Down on Rodeo
nowhere to go but down.
Faces of glass all hung in the past they
only come here to drown.
They were long gone, far gone nowhere
else to go.
Long gone, far gone down on Rodeo
never had quite enough time.
I did about a thousand dances but
nothing would change your mind.
You were long gone, far gone putting
on you show.
Long gone, far gone down on Rodeo
ain't never coming back
the price is a little too much.
Two little children on reveille hill we
looked but we couldn't touch.
We were long gone, far gone looking in the window.
Long gone, far gone down on Rodeo.

Beautiful melody ... wistful lyrics. Is it about Stevie? The Mac? Or Anne Heche (who he apparently had a relationship with -- also, listen to the references to Annie in the outro)? Or none of the above?
Either way, one of Lindsey's better solo efforts.
From an interview: "Down On Rodeo" is another track on "Under the Skin" that reflects Fleetwood Mac's heady days, with lyrics such as "After the music ended there was/Nowhere to go but down" and "We never took quite enough chances we/Never had quite enough time." "It's sort of looking at relationships that go by the wayside," both romantic and musical relationships, Buckingham said. A band can be successful commercially and critically, but he said "it doesn't mean you're having internal success."
