        C                      F           C
Just a broken down cowboy all down on his luck
      F                             C    G7
He's been through the best of his friends
      C                          F            C
On a long lonesome highway in an ol' pickup truck
       F           G7         C
Cross Texas with a hot dusty wind

He was all around cowboy 1959
From the top it's been a long way down
Since the whiskey and ladies started winnin' his time
They rode him high and hard to the ground

Chorus:
          F                             C
But he remembers the thrill of bein' a winner
                              G7
And the feeling of bein' a beginner
                            C
In the days of his first rodeo
               F
But there was somethin' about winnin'
                     C
 that didn't last forever
                               G7
But tomorrow it's bound to get better
                                 C
He'll be the all around cowboy again

The windmills are turning on the west Texas plains
But he's dry as an old river bed
He's just like the dust that's a searching for rain
But he knows he'll be riding again

So he rolls up a smoke and he sips his Old Crow
Wipe the whiskers that cover his chin
He grins as he dreams of the next rodeo
To be the all around cowboy again

Chorus
