That's not like rock and roll to me.
My youngest daughter is [E] here tonight.
She was here last night too.
I'm going to tell the same story, [N]
because it works and the dogs don't.
20 years we've been out on the road, buses, planes, and gone all over the [G] world.
This precious little red-headed [F#] girl comes walking up to the bus, [Am] I pull in the driveway,
she goes, [G] Daddy can I?
And I go, [N] yeah.
To this day, she's 20 years old.
No, she's 21.
I can't believe you're trying to help her with her [G] fake ID.
I guess I bought that too.
She started working me for a horse, and I said, baby you can't [C] have a horse not until I'm around,
like spend time with it, and I gotta get a trainer, all that kind of stuff.
I can't just turn you loose [B] with an animal that big, you know.
She's not much bigger than [Bm] that now, but she's [N] 22.
So [D#] [G] finally I get a phone call, put it off forever.
Went and got a tattoo that said cowboy from my elbow to my wrist,
and then I'm a horse expert.
I said, baby I want to be there, because I don't want to bite you or kick you.
And [N] I don't know which end either one of those two things come out of.
Anyway, [Gm] I get a call in the middle of the night, it's Reba McIntyre.
She says, Ronnie, if you don't buy Haley the horse, I'm going to buy it [Dm] and send you the bill.
[Gm]
Wrote this song to pay for [F#] it, and I'm still paying for [D] it.
[A]
[D]
[A]
Her daddy [D] gave her her first horse, [A] and taught her how.
She [D] climbed high in that sight.
Well, I [A] don't know how many times.
Taught her [F#m] a lesson that [E] she learned.
[D] Maybe a little [E] too well.
Cowgirls [D] don't cry.
Right, baby, [A] right.
[Bm]
[A] Lessons [D] in life show us all in time.
Soon [A] enough, you're going to know why.
It's going [F#m] to hurt her every now [E] and then.
When [D] you fall, get back [E] on again.
Cowgirls [A] don't cry.
She grew [D] up, she got married.
[A] But it never was quite right.
Wanted [D] a house, a home, and babies.
He started [A] coming home late at night.
She [F#m] didn't let him see [E] it break her heart.
[D] Didn't let him see [E] her fall [C#m] apart.

[A] Her mama's voice, she'd been crying.
Said, [D] it's your daddy, you need to come home.
This [A] is it, I think he's dying.
[F#m] Let the phone down by [E] his head.
[D] Let his hurt be [E] said.
