Oh I am just a cowboy on my way back to Houston
          C5            F5                              C5 
I used to play the rodeos but I can?t play ?em like I used to
               A5                C5  
I?ve given? it up, I?m layin? it down
           A5              F5     G5  
I?ve had enough of bein? a rodeo clown
          C5          E5             F5
So if you see a tear runnin down my face
             D5         F5       G5                C5 
Don?t ask me why, cause cowboys ain?t suppose to cry

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
                  A5                C5  
So I?ve given? it up, I?m layin? it down
           A5              F5     G5  
I?ve had enough of bein? a rodeo clown
