D G C D
For a change I headed south across the border
G C G D
For the pesos and a different horse to ride
D G C D
I'd be back to make the rodeo in Waco
G A
But that was long before I saw them dark brown eyes
[Verse 2]
D G C D
Oh her long black hair and English bad and broken
G C G D
Her body said the words she couldn't find
D G C D
As I hung on every word she left unspoken
G A
Oh the question started leaning on my mind
[Chorus]
D G D
Rodeo ooo or Mexico
C G A
They both can keep a cowboy satisfied
D G D
Rodeo ooo or Mexico
C G A
The only way I know how to decide
D
Is just get on and ride
D G Bm A A
[Verse 3]
D G C D
We danced all night beneath that sheet of cotton
G C G D
And you just don't tell a girl like that goodbye
D G C D
But the cowboy life ain't easily forgotten
G A
Though lying there I couldn' help but wonder why
[Chorus]
D G D
Rodeo ooo or Mexico
C G A
They both can keep a cowboy satisfied
D G D
Rodeo ooo or Mexico
C G A
The only way I know how to decide
D
Is just get on and ride
D G Bm A A
D G Bm A A Let me only ride
D G Bm A A Let's ride
[Solo]
Bm G D A Bm G D A G D/G G
[Verse 4]
D G C D
Well the morning found the answer dawning on me
G C G D
As I woke up to the sharp end of a knife
D G C D
Well he was screaming at the woman hanging on me
G A
Does anybody know the Spanish word for wife?
[Chorus]
D G D
Rodeo ooo or Mexico
C G A
They both can keep a cowboy satisfied
D G D
Rodeo ooo or Mexico
C G A
The only way I know how to decide
D
Is just get on and ride
