D5              A5          B5              A5    
Last night you told her,  you could never hold her 
      G5                      A5 
Cause cowboys just got to be free 
D5             A5           B5         A5  
Her heart was breaking,   yours was aching 
        G5             A5           D5 
but you saddled up to follow your dreams 
D5              A5          B5               A5        
Coffee on your campfire,  wind through the barbed wire 
G5                       A5 
You huddle close to the flames 
D5                  A5              B5           A5 
Though she's far behind you,  the night wind reminds you 
        G5         A5             D5  
It just keeps on whispering her name 
 
CHORUS: 
A5              G5           D5 
You can make a run for the border 
A5                  G5           D5 
Try to hide in the hole in the wall 
B5                               A5 
But don't you know your arms are aching to hold her 
    G5                                A5       
But cowboy even though you're riding tall  
                    D5 
You're riding for a fall 
 
verse 2: 
 
Midnight the moons up,  hands around your tin cup 
The frost settles in on the sage 
The night gettin' colder,  well man you're gettin' older 
Tonight you're feeling your age 
 
verse 3 
Why don't you turn back,  just saddle up and backtrack 
You know you'll never find a love quite like hers 
and tell me  On a cold lonesome evening,   
What the hell good's your freedom 
Don't you think it's time you hung up your spurs 
 
REPEAT CHORUS
