D                              G
Just a broken down cowboy all down on his luck
                       A             D
He's been through the best of his friends
                                   G
On a long lonesome highway and an old pickup truck
                      A         D
Crossed Texas with a hot dusty wind
D                         G
He was all around cowboy 1959
                          A        D
From the top it's been a long way down
                                       G
Since the whiskey and ladies started winning his time
                        A            D
They rode him high and hard to the ground

[Chorus]
          G                       D
Cause he remembers the thrill of bein' a winner

And the feeling of bein' a beginner in the days of his first rodeo
                  G                    D
But there was something about winning that didn't last forever
       G            D                                                   
But tomorrow it's bound to get better 
                         A       D
He'll be the all around cowboy again

[Verse]
D                                      G
The windmills're turning on the west Texas plains 
                    A         D
But he's dry as an old river bed
                                    G
He's just like the dust that's a searching for rain 
                       A       D
But he knows he'll be ridin' again
   D                                        G
So he rolls up a smoke and he sips his Old Crow
                          A         D
Wipes the whiskers that cover his chin
                              G
He grins as he dreams of the next rodeo 
                       A      D
To be the all around cowboy again

[Chorus]
         G                       D
But he remembers the thrill of bein' a winner

And the feeling of bein' a beginner in the days of his first rodeo
                  G                    D
But there was something about winning that didn't last forever
       G            D                                                   
But tomorrow it's bound to get better 
                         A       D
He'll be the all around cowboy again
