Cowboy Song

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
Ridind 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 dowm,up and dowm
It´s ok amigo,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
Ridind in the rodeo
The cowboy's life is the life for me
