Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am just a cowboy, lonesome on the trail
The starry night, the campfire light
The coyote call and the howlin' winds wail
So I ride out to the old sundown
[Verse 2]
I am just a cowboy, lonesome on the trail
Lord, I'm just thinkin' 'bout a certain female
The nights we spent together riding on the range
Looking back, it seemed so strange
[Verse 3]
Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning 'till I hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go
Ridin' in the rodeo
[Verse 4]
I was took in Texas, I did not 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 bustin' broncs for the rodeo
[Verse 5]
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
Here I go
[Verse 6]
Roll me over and I'll turn around
And I'll move my fingers up and down
Up and down
[Verse 7]
It's okay, amigo, just let me go
Ridin' in the rodeo
[Verse 8]
Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning 'till I hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go
Ridin' in the rodeo
[Verse 9]
Roll me over and set me free
The cowboy's life is the life for me
