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'll ride out to the old sundown
I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail
Lord, I'm just thinkin' about a certain female
The nights we spent together ridin' on the range
Lookin' back you know it seemed so strange
Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinnin' till I hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go ridin' in the rodeo
I was took in Texas, I did 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 busting broncs for 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' free with the buffalo
Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinnin' till I hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go, ridin' free with the buffalo
Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinnin' till I hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go ridin' in the rodeo
Roll me over and set me free
A cowboy's life is the life for me
