Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am just a cowboy
Lonesome on the trail
A starry night
A campfire light
The coyote call
And the howling 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 thinking
About a certain female
[Verse 3]
The nights we spent together
Riding on the range
Looking back
It seems so strange
[Verse 4]
Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning 'til I hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go
Riding in the rodeo
[Verse 5]
I was took in Texas
I didn't know her name
Lord, all these southern girls
Seem the same
[Verse 6]
Down below the border
In a town in Mexico
I got my job
Bustin' broncs for the rodeo
[Verse 7]
Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning 'til I hit the ground
Roll me over, let me go
Riding with these buffalo
Here I go
[Verse 8]
Oh, won't you clap your hands for me?
Just roll me over
And I'll turn around
And I'll move my fingers
Up and down
Up and down
[Verse 9]
It's okay, amigos
You can let yourself go
We'll be ridin' here with you
Ridin' in the rodeo
[Verse 10]
Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning 'til 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
