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 ever 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 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:)



RODEO OR MEXICO

THEY BOTH CAN KEEP A COWBOY SATISFIED

RODEO OR MEXICO

THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW TO DECIDE

IS JUST GET ON AND RIDE



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:)



RODEO OR MEXICO

THEY BOTH CAN KEEP A COWBOY SATISFIED

RODEO OR MEXICO

THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW TO DECIDE

IS JUST GET ON AND RIDE
