_ _ _ _ _ _ 44's no [A] age to [E] start again
_ But the bulls were getting [A] tough and he was [B] never free of pain
[D] Where others blew their winnings getting tanked
Most of his got [B] banked, [A] saving for the [E]
farm
_ He [F#m] never thought she'd wait for him [E] at all
_ Cause she wanted more [A] than broken bones and [B] trophies on the wall
[D] But when he quit and finally got the farm
She ran into his arms and [A] now they've got [E] a kid
He [B] was scar of all the rodeos but now [A] they rob him blind
He took [B] 18 years of ram of bulls and [F#m] lie it [A] on the line
[B] He'd get the spread and a decent herd
But now he [A] spends his time [E] pulling night guards
_ _ _ _ _ He told her that [A] he'd got it for the [E] game _ _
_ Winnie [A] 303 with his [B] initials on the frame
[D] Riding in the scabbard at his knee
[F#m] Tonight he's [B] gonna see who's [A] getting [E] all the stuff
_ _ _ Seventh one this [A] summer [E] yesterday _ _ _
Half a year [A] of profits gone and [B] now he's held the pay
[D] The cops say they know who but there's no proof
The banker hit the [B] roof and [A] then he took the [E] farm
He [B] was scar of all the rodeos but now [A] they rob him blind
He [B] took 18 years of ram of bulls and [F#m] lie it [A] on the line
[B] He'd get the spread and a decent herd
But [D] now he spends [A] his time pulling [E] night guards
Get away, Jeff!

_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ He hears the [A] wire popping by a [E] road
_ _ _ Sees the blacked out [A] regal coming [B] for another load
[D] This time it's not one they take but two
Two minutes and they're [B] through and [A] laughing [E] in the cab _
And here will be [A] the end to this [E] today _
_ Cause all the proof he [A] needs is lying [B]
steady in his side
[D] It may be just the worst thing he could do
But he squeezes off a few [A] then makes his [E] call to town
He was scar of [F#] all the rodeos but now [A] they rob him blind
He [B] took 18 years of ram of bulls and lie it [A] on the line
He'd get [B] the spread and a decent herd
But now [A] he's doing time pulling [E] night guards
_ _ _ _ He [B] was scar of all the rodeos but now they [A] rob him blind
He took [B] 18 years of ram of [F#m] bulls and lie it on the line
[B] He'd get the spread and a decent herd
