For a change I headed south Across the border For the pesos and A different horse to ride I'd be back to make The rodeo in waco But that was long Before I saw them Dark brown eyes With long black hair and English bad and broken Her body said the words She couldn't find As I hung on every word She left unspoken The question started Leaning on my mind
[chorus:] Rodeo or mexico They both can keep A cowboy satisfied Rodeo or mexico The only way I know how to decide Is just to get on and ride
We danced all night Beneath that sheet of cotton And you just don't Tell a girl like that goodbye But the cowboy life Ain't easily forgotten Though lying there I couldn't help But wonder why
[repeat chorus]
The morning Found the answer Dawning on me As I woke up to the Sharp end of a knife He was screaming at The woman hanging on me Does anybody know the Spanish word for wife?
