Rodriguez For A Night

Rodriguez For A Night Lyrics

I once rode with an angel
Through the arroyo called Dry Run
Until one day she made it clear
That I could never be the one
And then she met the outlaw Rodriguez
It was then that her heart took flight
Well, I would sell my soul if I could only be
Rodriguez, for just one night

I confess he had some qualities
That might attract a foolish girl
An effortless charisma
And a clever wind with the whirl
Now, I'm just a drug store cowboy
You know I'll never be Mr right
Still, I would sell my soul if I could only be
Rodriguez, for just one night

In the course of time I married
Decided to settle down
I was getting too old to chase that dream
And way too tired to kick her out

But if the devil still wants to talk a deal
I been willing to curse the light
Yes, I would sell my soul if I could only be
Rodriguez
Still, I would sell my soul if I could only be
Rodriguez, for just one night
