I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail A starry night, a campfire light The coyote call, the howling winds wail So I ride out to the old sundown I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail Lord, I'm just thinking about a certain female The nights we spent together riding on the range Looking back it seems so strange Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Ridin' in the rodeo I was took in Texas I did not know her name Lord, all these southern girls seem the same Down below the border in a town in Mexico I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Running free with the bufallo Roll me over and turn around And I move my fingers, up and down, up and down It's ok amigo, just let me go Ridin' in the rodeo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Ridin' in the rodeo The cowboy's life is the life for me
