I am just a cowboy
lonesome on this trail
A starry night a campfire light
the howling winds wail
the coyote call
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
Riding in the rodeo
I was took in Texas I did not
know her name
Lord all these southern girls
they 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 buffalo
Roll me over and I'll turn around
and I'll move my fingers
up and down up and down
it's ok let me go
just let me go
Riding 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
Riding in the rodeo
Roll me over and set me free
The cowboy's life is the life for me
