C                   F                   C
We were just kids, growing up in West Texas,
                      G      C
Remember the hell we raised
                      F                    C
We chased the girls, we never could catch them,
                 G    C
Those were are glory days

C                     F                 C
You called me cowboy,  Cause I drove a pickup
                             G
and sang those old cheatin' songs
        C                     F                    C
Buy a bottle of Boone's Farm,   wind up all messed up
                  G         C
Where have those years all gone

[Chorus]
F                  C
Hey little brother, this is old cowboy
                     G
Best keep your radio on
  F                     C
Cause I might get lucky,  sing on the Opry
     G                      C
And I'll dedicate you this song

[Instrumental]

C                   F            C
I hit the highway, never looked back
                                G
You stayed here in our old hometown
       C                 F                C
You married a sweet girl   down around Austin
                     G            C
Had nine kids whose eyes are all brown

                      F               C
I hit every barroom, Bakersfield to Boston
                               G
Seeking whiskey, fortune, and fame
   C                       F               C
Countin' these white lines,  sure gets lonely
                 G           C
Someday they'll all know my name

[Chorus]
F                  C
Hey little brother, this is old cowboy
                     G
Best keep your radio on
  F                     C
Cause I might get lucky,  sing on the Opry
     G                      C
And I'll dedicate you this song

C                            F             C
Well the years come and go, I've sure realized
                                    G
There ain't nothin like your best friend
            C                  F                  C
If there's one thing I know, 'Til the day that I die
               G             C
You've got me back, brother Ben

Repeat Chorus

C                          F                        C
Yeah tonight I got lucky, singin' on the Grand Ole Opry
       G             C
I dedicate you this song
