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, 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, 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?,
