D                             G            D 
Just a broken down cowboy all down on his luck 
G                             D 
Been through the best of his friends 
D                                G           D 
On a long lonesome highway in an old pick-up truck 
       G           A         D 
Cross Texas like a hot dusty wind 
 

D                         G            D 
He was All Around Cowboy back in forty-nine 
         G                        D 
>From the top it's been a long way down 
D                                       G           D 
Since the whiskey and the women started winning his time 
              G        A            D 
They rode him high and hard to the ground 
 

     G                     D 
He remembers the thrill of being a winner 
        G                    D 
and the days of his first rodeo 
         G                            D 
There's something 'bout winnin' that don't last forever 
G              D 
Maybe tomorrow things will get better 
        Em                     A 
If the devil lets loose of his soul 
                                 D 
He'll be the All Around Cowboy again 
 

D                             G             D 
So he rolls up a smoke and he sips his Old Crow 
           G                       D 
Wipes the whiskers that cover his chin 
                              G      D 
And he grins as he dreams of old rodeos 
         G           A      D 
He's the All Around Cowboy again 
 

G                          D 
He remembers the thrill of being a winner 
        G                    D 
and the days of his first rodeo 
         G                            D 
There's something 'bout winnin' that don't last forever 
G              D 
Maybe tomorrow things will get better 
        Em                     A 
If the devil lets loose of his soul 
                                 D 
He'll be the All Around Cowboy again
