Lyrics for Cowboy Song

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 it didn't seem 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, runnin' free with the buffalo (Here I go) 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' 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' in the rodeo Roll me over and set me free The cowboy's life is the life for me
