Verse I

D5                     A5
Well first off I'm an Okie
B5               A5
So don't call me Tex
   G5                    D5              A5         B5     A5  
No I don't mind you askin bout this cast here on my leg
D5              A5
I had a little bad luck
       B5            A5
with a bull in Santa Fe
   G5                        D5
He stomped me good but I'll ride tonight
           G5                 A5
Cause if I don't I don't get paid
G5          D5               A5             D5
No I never thought about a safer line of work
       G5           D5            G5             A5
With a little more security that won't get me hurt

**CHORUS**

        G5            D5
You can take away my pick up
       G5          D5
Put me in a black sedan
     G5              D5
Hung up my hat, spurs and boots
         D5      G5   A5
Ditch my Copenhagen can
       G5             D5
Put me in a highrise office
        G5               D5
make me wear a suit and tie
G5             D5
But I'll be a cowboy 
           A5     D5
'Til the day I die

Verse II

D5                  A5
Unless your one of us 
       B5           A5
You'll never understand
   G5                 D5
Cowboyin' ain't just what I do
 A5    B5    A5
It's who I am
         D5             A5 
It's how I think, It's what I feel 
                B5         A5
It's the way of life I love
G5                  D5
No it ain't like I had a choice
G5          A5
It's in my blood
