[Bb] [Ab]
[Bb] I need to get [Db] out of this town
they bury me in the ground
my headstone [Ab] reads it lies one cowboy's dreams
my pa says [Ab] I better get a job
the same goes for my ma
that [Db] rodeo [Ab] only leaves you dead or broke
I'm running [Ab] on empty
[Bb] I need to get [Db] out of this town
they bury me in the ground
my headstone [Ab] reads it lies one cowboy's dreams
my pa says [Ab] I better get a job
the same goes for my ma
that [Db] rodeo [Ab] only leaves you dead or broke
I'm running [Ab] on empty

This _ _ [Fm] cowboy life, _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ so I left the house [Ab] today
I packed my bags and I'm on my way
