Brainstorming never sucks! LOL
We throw it out there and make our judgment call later.

The breeze is blowing through the curtains
we're laughing on the floor so hard we cry
it knocked the candle over almost lit us both on fire

The 'furniture' of the breeze, the curtains, the two people, laughing, on the floor, the candle, all concrete imagery.
I couldn't read it without imagining the scene. That's 'furniture'. If I only heard it sung, instead of reading it, it would probably have the same 'insistent' effect in my imagination.

"Rodeo" Verse I describes the man, and the woman, and the 'Conflict'. Conflict is a great literary device. It makes the story interesting.
Verse II, more concrete 'things' to imagine, that hearing them name demands the Human mind 'imagine' them. The gold in the buckle.
"Her back's against the wall." I imagined it literally, her moving back against the wall, unable to compete for his attention when he's focused on the rodeo.
Note the Structure. It seems to use a Chorus Refrain ending each Verse, hitting THE Hook, the Title Line, "Rodeo".
I can't hear it on Youtube. Is there a Bridge?
And note the number of 'hits' on THE Hook, driving home that concept as THE main idea.
