She Is In Love with a Rodeo Man

She's a barmaid in a west Texas dancehall;
She's there every night till they close.
The cowboys all match for the jukebox,
And she plays San Antonio Rose

Well I know her life ain't been easy.
Lord, the lines in her face say it all,
But she still is a beautiful woman,
In the lights of the dance Texas hall

Chorus:
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.

Well he's hard and he's scarred and he's grayin',
And he's stoned most all of the time.
And he drinks at a dark corner table,
He waits there until closin' time.

Then at last the dance hall is empty,
In the darkness he holds her close,
They dance all alone to the jukebox,
While it plays San Antonio Rose.
