Verse 1 : 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
Verse 2 : Oh her 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
Oh the question started leaning on my mind
Refrain : Rodeo__o or Mexico, they both can keep a cowboy satisfied
Rodeo__o or Mexico, the only way I know how to decide
Is just get on and ride
Verse 3 : 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 easiliy forgotten
Though lying there I couldn' help but wonder why
Refrain : Rodeo__o or Mexico, they both can keep a cowboy satisfied
Rodeo__o or Mexico, the only way I know how to decide
Is just get on and ride
Verse 4 : Well the morning found the answer dawning on me
As I woke up to the sharp end of a knife
Well he was screaming at the woman hanging on me
Does anybody know the Spanish word for wife?
Refrain : Rodeo__o or Mexico, they both can keep a cowboy satisfied
Rodeo__o or Mexico, the only way I know how to decide
Is just get on and ride
