She's a barmaid in a west texas dancehall
she's there every night till they close
The cowboy's paid for the jukebox
And she plays San Antonio rows
And I know that life ain't been easy
all the lines in her face say it all
But she still is a beautiful woman
in the lights of the texas dancehall
so she won't sit down at your table
and I know that you can't hold her hand
she won't go home with you cowboy
she's in love with a rodeo man
He's hard, He's scarred, and He's graying
And He's stoned most all of the time
And he sits at a dark corner table
And he waits there till closing time
so she won't sit down at your table
and I know that you can't hold her hand
she won't go home with you cowboy
she's in love with a rodeo man...
