  Intro: C

  

  I own (C) this horse and saddle

  And (F) that ole Cadillac(C)

  This broken down horse trailer

  And the (D) clothes that are on my back (G)

  I (F) know that it ain't, a hell of a (C) lot.

  But it's all that I can show,(G)

  For (F) 17 yrs (C) makin my livin' (G) ridin the rodeo(C).

  

  My (C) wife left me 5 yrs ago

  In (F) one of them rodeo towns(C)

  I c-ain't say that I blame her much,

  She just (D) wanted to settle down.(G)

  Oh God (F)how I miss that woman(C)

  And it hurt so to see her go.(G)

  But if (G) I was smart I woulda (C) stuck by her

  But I'm (G) hooked on this rodeo.(C)

  

  Now I'm just a (F) Lonesome (C)Cowboy

  I'm a little bit over the hill.(G)

  I shoulda (F) quit this thing a long (C) time ago

  But I (D)guess I never will(G)

  So I (C)keep on movin from (s/s..??) (F)hopin to change my luck.(C)

  My (G) good ole days are all a (C)memory

  But I (G)just can't give it (C)up.

  

  Instrumental- F C F C G C D

  There was a time I used to do alright

  And (G)bring home my share a dough(D)

  But now I'm losin out to the younger boys

  I guess I (E) must be gettin slow.(A)

  If (G) there's one thing you (D) learn from this,

  You gotta make it on your own(A).

  Cause when (G) your on top you got a (D)million friends

  But when your (A)down Buddy your all alone(D).

  

  Now I'm just a (G) Lonesome (D) Cowboy

  I'm a little bit over the hill(A)

  I should (G)quit this thing a long (D)time ago

  But I (E)guess I never will.(A)

  So I (D)keep on moving from (s/s??) (G)hopin to change my luck.(D)

  My (G)good ole days are all a memory

  But I just(A) c-ain't give it up.(D)

  My (G) good ole days are all a (D)memory but I just (A)c-ain't give it

  up(A).

  

  Ending: G D G D A D 

  

  (s/s??)- I ain't sure whether its "shore to shore" or "show to show".

  The album never came with lyrics.

  

  This is the best rodeo song since "Amarillo By Mornin"
