Barrel Racer Land
Kenny Feidler Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴She pulls a fifty footer just to haul one horse
Won a hundred dollars all profit of course
Cuz her daddy buys the feed and her boyfriend owns the truck
All she's gotta do is ride her horse and ...

It's another great day to be looking that good
In and out the arena she's hanging on the wood
Perfume is so strong passed out and hit the can

It's another great day in barrel racer land

Got a roper for his money buys her lots a shit
Got a roughy on the side when she wants some good ...
Runs an Appaloosa pony chasing first placed prize
Probly ain't the worst she's had between her thighs

Got a kippys belt and five colored hair
Fur on her boots and none down there
Took outa couple panels when she finally broke
Her horse is fuckin crazy got em tripping on coke

Got a pleather saddle and a couple a bits
No inhibitions and a set of fake tits
Pounding down the liquor for the rodeos end
Lost her front teeth fighting with her best friend

Woulda coulda shoulda but she knocked down the third
Ground was too deep and her horse saw a bird
Musics to loud and the lights were to bright
She'd a had the buckle if things had went right

Well it's not an easy life on the barrel racing road
Every now and then she takes a big load

Cuz you gotta turn and burn if you wanna be fast
Turn rich men into poor men got rug burn on her ass

Overall Meaning

The song "Barrel Racer Land" by Kenny Feidler is a sarcastic and satirical look at the life of a female barrel racer in the rodeo world. The first stanza describes the fact that although she only hauls one horse, she still manages to win a profit because of her boyfriend and father's involvement in the rodeo. The second stanza makes fun of the fact that the woman is so focused on her appearance and perfume that she passes out in the bathroom. Her relationships with men are not healthy and she is not above cheating on them with other men. She is described as having "none down there" and fake breasts. The third and final stanza continues to describe her struggles and failures while competing, but she still manages to maintain an attitude of being proud of her actions as a barrel racer.

The lyrics to "Barrel Racer Land" are sung in a sarcastic and funny tone, highlighting the absurdities of the rodeo lifestyle. They poke fun at the unrealistic expectations of success and the questionable moral standards of some within the rodeo culture. The song stands out from traditional country music themes because it does not romanticize or glamorize the rodeo lifestyle. The lyrics describe it as a hard and often fruitless existence, lived by people more concerned with how they look and who they are sleeping with than achieving true success.
