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 way with the world

Now I'm just drugstore cowboy
You know I'll never be Mister Right
Still I'd sell my soul if I could only be
Rodrigues for just one night

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

But if the Devil still wants to talk a deal
I'd be willing to curse the light
Yes I'd sell my soul if I could only be
Rodriguez
Still I'd sell my soul if I could only be
Rodriguez for just one night
