She's a barmaid in a west Texas dance hall
She's there every night 'til they close
And the cowboys pay for the jukebox
And she plays San Antonio Rose

Well, I know her life ain't been easy
Or the lines in her face say it all
But she still is a beautiful woman
In the lights of the Texas dance hall

But she won't sit down at your table
And I know that you can't hold her hand
She won't go home with you, cowboy
She's in love with a rodeo man

Well, he's hard and he's scarred and he's grayine
And he's stoned most all of the time
And he drinks at a dark corner table
And he waits there until closing time

So, she won't sit down at your table
And I know that you can't hold her hand
She won't go home with you, cowboy
She's in love with a rodeo man

She won't sit down at your table
And I know that you can't hold her hand
She won't go home with you, cowboy
She's in love with a rodeo man
