Oh I'm just a cowboy on my way back to Houston
                       F
I used to play the rodeos
                            C
But I can’t play ‘em like I used to
              Am               C
I’ve given it up I’m laying it down
         Am                F     G7

But now it seems too hard to handle
                 Am               C
So I’ve given it up I’m laying it down
         Am                F     G
I’ve had enough of being a rodeo clown
          C          Em              F
So if you see a tear running down my face
             Dm        F       G7               C
Don’t ask me why cause cowboys ain’t suppose to cry
