G                                                 D
Well my saddle's on my horse but I ain't goin' nowhere
            C                                              G
'Cause my ridin' days are over and there's vultures in the air
           C                                G           C
Well the trails have been a brother and a devil all in one
           D                                             G
I'm gonna lay back with my woman throw away my fightin' guns

 G                                                              D
Well I spent many lonely evenings listenin' to the howl of the wolf
       C                                                       G
Talk about her like a loved one did you ever kiss a horses' hoof
            C                              G                      C
They keep puttin' up all them fences to section up the country mile
           D                                              G
I'm gonna lay back with my woman and take it easy for a while

      G                                                      D
Yes there's danger on the prairie there's rattlesnakes that bite
          C                                                 G
In every little town you come to there's always a good old fight
               C                                               G           C
Well there's nothin' like his and her place I wouldn't say it if I didn't know
           D                                                G
I'm gonna lay back with my woman and love her sweet country soul

      G                                                    D
Well you see her arms are ready and the kitchen's full of food
             C                                                G
She's got a smile that's pretty but then it all looks kinda good
          C                               G                   C
Can you blame a guy for thinkin' he'd be crazy to hit the trail
           D                                             G
I'm gonna lay back with my woman and put my horses up for sale
           D                                         G
I'm gonna lay back with my woman put my horses up for sale
