Am

[Verse 1]
Am
Norma it ain't no use
F
Your little boy is outta control
Am
He's got a burning fuse
F
He's got a broken circuit
Am
Started out way back when
    F
You took him to his first rodeo
Am
Those little eyes lit up
F                     E7        Am     Fmaj7
That little heart was sealed in stone

[Verse 2]
Am
Mother just let him go
F
You can't stop the rain from falling
Am
He's gonna ride that colt
    F
And one of them's gonna end up broken
Am
Lordy what a price to pay
F
All that work for all that trouble
  Am
Before you accept your fate
F               E7     Am   F
Love the man or walk away
   E7
Oh yeah-yeah


[Chorus]
Am                    G
Whatcha gonna be when you grow up?
F                            G
Where you gonna be when the sun goes down?
Am                             G
Will you ever quit when you've had enough?
F       G
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Am                        G
How in the world will you find your way
F                                G
When the lovin' is good, but the lovin' won't pay?
Am                          G
Where you gonna go when the lights die out
        F        D       Am    G     F      G
And the dust has settled doo...ooo...oown?
       Am    G    F     G
Settle doo...ooo..oown


[Verse 3]
Am
Papa couldn't understand
F
Why he had to leave the station
Am
Taught him how to work the land
 F
"Boy your dreams ain't worth the chasin"
    Am
And up until the day he died
    F
The bridle could not ease his sorrow
Am
Cursed his passion and cursed his pride
F                   E7       Am
These are the final words he cried, oohh...


[Chorus]
Am                    G
Whatcha gonna be when you grow up?
F                            G
Where you gonna be when the sun goes down?
Am                             G
Will you ever quit when you've had enough?
F       G
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Am                        G
How in the world will you find your way
F                                G
When the lovin' is good, but the lovin' won't pay?
Am                          G
Where you gonna go when the lights die out
        F        D       Am    G     F      G
And the dust has settled doo...ooo...oown?
       Am    G    F   G
Settle doo...ooo..oown,  Oh, oh
