She's a barmaid in a west Texas dance hallShe's there ev'ry night till they closeAnd the cowboy's pay for the jukeboxAnd she plays 'San Antonio Rose'Well I know her life ain't been easyLord, the lines in her face say it allBut she still is a beautiful womanIn the lights of the Texas dance hallBut she won't sit down at your tableAnd I know that you can't hold her handShe won't go home with you cowboyShe's in love with a rodeo manWell he's hard and he's scarred and he's grayin'And he's stoned most all of the timeAnd he drinks at a dark corner tableAnd he waits there until closin' timeSo she won't sit down at your tableAnd I know that you can't hold her handShe won't go home with you cowboyShe's in love with a rodeo manShe won't sit down at your tableAnd I know that you can't hold her handShe won't go home with you cowboyShe's in love with a rodeo man
