Standard (EADGBE)

This old highway's getting longer

Seems there ain't no end in sight

To sleep would be best

But I just can't afford to rest

I gotta ride in Denver tomorrow night

I called the house, but no one answered

For the last two weeks no one's been home

I guess she's through with me

To tell the truth, I just can't see

What's kept a woman holding on this long

(CHORUS)

And the white line's getting longer

And the saddle's getting cold

Now I'm much too young to feel this damn old

All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole

Now I'm much too young to feel this damn old

The competition's getting younger

Tougher broncs, you know I can't recall

A worn out tape of Chris LeDoux

Lonely women and bad booze

Seem to be the only friends I've left at all.

(CHORUS)
