Oh I am just a cowboy on my way back to Houston
          C            F                              C 
I used to play the rodeos but I can?t play ?em like I used to
               Am                C  
I?ve given? it up, I?m layin? it down
           Am              F     G  
I?ve had enough of bein? a rodeo clown
          C          Em             F
So if you see a tear runnin down my face
             Dm         F       G                C 
Don?t ask me why, cause cowboys ain?t suppose to cry
