I once rode with an angel
Through the whole royal court 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 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 around

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
