C                G         F                C
Risin' time's at five, the red sun is still sleepin'
    F            C           G 
My pillow is my saddle, the stars are my ceilin'
    C            G               F                  C
My whole body's achin', I got a young colt needin' breakin'
        F               C      F         G                 C      G
But ya know I can't complain, thank God some things never change  
 

C                                 G          F                   C 
There's a storm somewhere that's brewin' as these old bones are creakin'
     F                 C        F               G
The cows will soon be down and that old roof a leakin'
       C                     G                F              C
Got a truck that needs some tendin' and some fences needin' mendin'
       F                  C            F         G                 C      G 
And I know it must sound strange, but thank God some things never change  
 
[Chorus]
      F                               C 
They fenced in all the free land and oil wells run the range
 F                                          C 
Long gone are the cattle drives since they brought in the trains
         Dm                F                   C
But the hard work and the friendships still remain
 F         G                 C       G 
Thank God some things never change
 
 
 C              G                 F                 C 
Out here where nature rules each day's a different battle
     F                C   G
And it still takes a man workin' in the saddle
       C                G      F                 C  
No machine can break a bay or bring in a lonely stray
      F              C     F         G                 C       G
So I guess I will remain, thank God some things never change
 
[Chorus]
         F                                 G 
Yeah it looks like this old cowboy will remain
 F         G                 C 
Thank God some things never change
