[Originally performed by Thin Lizzy]

I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail
A starry night, a campfire light
The coyote call, the howling winds wail
So I ride out to the old sundown

I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail
Lord, I'm just thinking about a certain female
The nights we spent together riding on the range
Looking back it seems so strange

Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning 'till I hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go
Running free with the buffalo

I was took in Texas,
I did not know her name Lord,
all these southern girls 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 spinning 'till I hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go

Riding in the rodeo
Roll me over and set me free
The cowboy's life is the life for me
