Background


Gosdin credited the genesis of the song to a workman who used the idiomatic expression which became the song's title:

"I was wanting an addition put on my house, an extra room over my garage. I met with the carpenters one morning, then left my house and drove to Nashville for the day. When I got home, they had almost finished the addition. I complimented them on their work, and one guy said, 'This ain't our first rodeo.' I went into the house and jotted that down, then wrote the song later with Hank [Cochran] and Max [D. Barnes]."[1]

Content


The lyrics explain a tale of experience, including these repeated lines:

This ain't the first time this old cowboy's been throwed
This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show
Honey, This ain't my first rodeo

The song was number 10 in Radio and Records during the week of November 26, 1990.[2] It reached number 14 on Hot Country Songs.
