She's a waitress in a West Texas dance hall
She's there every night till they close
The cowboy's matched for the jukebox
And she plays San Antonio roast
Well I know that her life ain't been easy
The lines on her face tell it all But she's still a beautiful woman
In the lights of the Texas dance hall
But she won't sit down at your table
And I know that can't hold her hand
No she won't go home with you cowboy
She's in love with a rodeo man
And he's hard and he's scarred and he's graying
And he's stoned most all of the time
He drinks at a dark corner table Where
he waits there until closing time
And at last the dance hall is empty
And there in the darkness he holds her close
And they dance all alone to the jukebox
While it plays San Antonio roast
But she won't sit down at your table
And I know that you can't hold her hand
No she won't go home with you cowboy She's in love with a rodeo man
No she won't go home with you cowboy She's in love with a rodeo man
