Well I drank down the dust

With a bourbon straight up

On another hot rodeo day

When she sat down beside me

All painted and pretty

A girl of the night you might say

With cool blue eyes and a shanty-town smile

And Lucy there's fresh morning dew

She said you're a sad one

And no doubt a bad one oh

I know a lot about you

You are another rough rider

You like your bourbon straight up

The horses you ride

Are the wild killing kind

And good love just ain't enough

Cause there ain't no women that can hold you

Tame the wild in your soul

And drive out that twister that's driving you mister

Crazy and out of control

Well we went for the night time

Cause morning was coming and I said

I will love you tonight

Then deep in the shadows

Where I never traveled

The wild thing inside of me died

I woke looking into

Those cool blue eyes

And I said let me stay here with you

Cause you can control

The wild in my soul

Like no other women can do

And she said

You are another rough rider

You like your bourbon straight up

The horses you ride

Are the wild killing kind

And good love just ain't enough

Cause there ain't no women that can hold you

Tame the wild in your soul

And drive out that twister that's driving you mister

Crazy and out of control

You are another rough rider
