Rodeo Or Mexico

For a change

I headed South

Across the border

For the pesos and

A different horse to ride

I'd be back to make

The rodeo in Waco

But that was long

Before I saw them

Dark brown eyes

With long black hair and

English bad and broken

Her body said the words

She couldn't find

As I hung on every word

She left unspoken

The question started

Leaning on my mind



[CHORUS:]

Rodeo or Mexico

They both can keep

A cowboy satisfied

Rodeo or Mexico

The only way

I know how to decide

Is just to get on and ride



We danced all night

Beneath that sheet of cotton

And you just don't

Tell a girl like that goodbye

But the cowboy life

Ain't easily forgotten

Though lying there

I couldn't help

But wonder why



[Repeat chorus]



The morning

Found the answer

Dawning on me

As I woke up to the

Sharp end of a knife

He was screaming at

The woman hanging on me

Does anybody know the

Spanish word for wife?



[Repeat chorus]
