Rodeo Or Mexico

Garth Brooks

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

Oh, 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
Oh, the question started leaning on my mind

Rodeo or Mexico
Oh, they both can keep a cowboy satisfied
Rodeo or Mexico
Oh, the only way I know how to decide
Is just 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

Rodeo or Mexico
Oh, they both can keep a cowboy satisfied
Rodeo or Mexico
Oh, the only way I know how to decide
Is just get on and ride
Yeah, get on and ride

That's right

Well, the morning found the answer dawning on me
As I woke up to the sharp end of a knife
But he was screaming at the woman hanging on me
Does anybody know the Spanish word for wife

Rodeo or Mexico
Oh, they both can keep a cowboy satisfied
Rodeo or Mexico
Oh, the only way I know how to decide
Is just get on and ride
Cross lope and ride
