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 Riding 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 buffalo Roll me over, and I'll turn around And I'll move my fingers, up and down Up and down It's okay amigo, just let me go Ridin' here in the rodeo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinnin' till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Ridin' here in the rodeo Roll me over and set me free A cowboy's life is the life for me.
