[G] [D] I wake up every morning [G] in a different [D] place and time.
[A] I thank God that I can live the [D] way I choose.
Lord, at times the road gets lonely.
[G]
I can't [D] settle down.
[A] I gotta win, cause I can't [D] stand to lose.
[G] I was born to be a cowboy, [Em] full of dreams and [D] broken bones.
[A] God, it ain't an easy life, [G]
but it's the one [D] I chose.
And [G] I was born to be a champion.

[G] [D] I broke my neck in Frisco [G] and then my heart [D] in San Antonio.
[A] I left a part of me in every place [D] I've been.
Boy, I think I'd learn my lesson.
[G] I'd give it up and go [D] back home.
[A] But I can't quit, the will to [D] win's too strong.
Cause [G] I was born to be a cowboy, [Em] full of dreams and broken [D] bones.
[A] It ain't an easy life, [G]
but it's the one [D] I chose.
And I [G] was born to be a champion.
