Cowboy Song

Originally by thin lizzy.
(lynott, downey)
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
Running free with the buffalo
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
Riding in the rodeo
Roll me over and set me free
The cowboy's life is the life for me
