"Clown in Your Rodeo" is a country song recorded by American artist Kathy Mattea . Released in April 1995, it was the fourth single from her album Walking Away a Winner.
Written by Wayne Kirkpatrick, the song reached #20 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. The lyrics serve as a defiant anthem for independence, where the narrator refuses to be treated like a disposable side-show or "freak" in a partner's life.

Thanks for listening. ❤
