Lonesome Rodeo Cowboy

[Verse]
     C
I own this horse and saddle
    F                C
And that ole Cadillac

This broken down horse trailer
       D                            G
And the clothes that are on my back
 F                               C
I know that it ain't, a hell of a lot.
                             G
But it's all that I can show,
   F      C               G               C
For 17 yrs makin my livin' ridin the rodeo.

My wife left me 5 yrs ago
  F                       C
In one of them rodeo towns
                                  G
I c-ain't say that I blame her much,
        D                      G
She just wanted to settle down.
       F                    C
Oh God how I miss that woman
                             G
And it hurt so to see her go.
       G                   C
But if I was smart I woulda stuck by her
        G                    C
But I'm hooked on this rodeo.
              F         C
Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy
                               G
I'm a little bit over the hill.
         F                      C
I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago
      D                 G
But I guess I never will
     C                               F                       C
So I keep on movin from show to show hopin to change my luck.
   G                       C
My good ole days are all a memory
      G                  C
But I just can't give it up.

[Verse]
There was a time I used to do alright
    G                          D
And bring home my share a dough
                                    A
But now I'm losin out to the younger boys
          E                   A
I guess I must be gettin slow.
   G                     D
If there's one thing you learn from this,
                             A
You gotta make it on your own.
          G                      D
Cause when your on top you got a million friends
              A                        D
But when your down Buddy your all alone.
               G        D
Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy
                              A
I'm a little bit over the hill
         G                      D
I should quit this thing a long time ago
      E                  A
But I guess I never will.
     D                                G                       D
So I keep on moving from show to show hopin to change my luck.
