She's in Love with a Rodeo Man
Love's Dance in the Texas Shadows
Lyrics
She's a barmaid in a west Texas dance hall
She works as a bartender in a dance hall located in west Texas.
She's there ev'ry night till they close
She consistently works there until the establishment closes each night.
And the cowboy's pay for the jukebox
Cowboys in the bar pay for the jukebox.
And she plays 'San Antonio Rose'
She selects and plays the song 'San Antonio Rose' on the jukebox.
Well I know her life ain't been easy
Her life has been challenging or difficult.
Lord, the lines in her face say it all
The visible lines on her face tell the story of her hardships.
But she still is a beautiful woman
Despite her difficulties, she remains a beautiful woman under the dance hall lights.
In the lights of the Texas dance hall
She appears beautiful within the atmosphere of the Texas dance hall.
But she won't sit down at your table
She avoids sitting at any patron's table.
And I know that you can't hold her hand
She refrains from allowing physical closeness or intimacy with anyone.
She won't go home with you cowboy
She declines invitations to go home with cowboys.
She's in love with a rodeo man
Her heart belongs to a man involved in rodeo activities.
Well he's hard and he's scarred and he's grayin'
The rodeo man is tough, weathered, and likely aged.
And he's stoned most all of the time
He frequently consumes drugs and is often under the influence.
And he drinks at a dark corner table
He drinks alone in a secluded part of the bar.
And he waits there until closin' time
He remains there until the dance hall closes.
So she won't sit down at your table
Similar to before, she avoids sitting at any patron's table.
And I know that you can't hold her hand
She avoids physical closeness or intimacy with others.
She won't go home with you cowboy
She declines offers from cowboys to accompany them home.
She's in love with a rodeo man
Her heart remains devoted to the rodeo man.
She won't sit down at your table
Repetition emphasizing her avoidance of sitting at patrons' tables.
And I know that you can't hold her hand
Re-emphasizing her refusal of physical closeness or intimacy.
She won't go home with you cowboy
Reiterating her rejection of going home with cowboys due to her love for the rodeo man.
She's in love with a rodeo man
Reaffirming her commitment and love for the rodeo man.
