Standard (EADGBE)

Oh I am just a cowboy on my way back to Houston

I used to play the rodeos but I can’t play ‘em like I used to

I’ve given’ it up, I’m layin’ it down

I’ve had enough of bein’ a rodeo clown

So if you see a tear runnin down my face

Don’t ask me why, cause cowboys ain’t suppose to cry

Steel solo

Oh I am just a drifter on my way back from Denver

I kept ‘em laughin from in my barrel but now it seems too hard to handle

So I’ve given’ it up, I’m layin’ it down

I’ve had enough of bein’ a rodeo clown

So if you see a tear runnin’ down my face

Don’t ask me why, cause cowboys ain’t suppose to cry
