garth brooks - rodeo or mexico lyrics

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 every 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 to 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]

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]
