Oh I am just a cowboy on my way back to Houston
          C            F                              C 
I used to play the rodeos but I can’t play ‘em like I used to
               Am                C  
I’ve given’ it up, I’m layin’ it down
           Am              F     G  
I’ve had enough of bein’ a rodeo clown
          C          Em             F
So if you see a tear runnin down my face
             Dm         F       G                C 
Don’t ask me why, cause cowboys ain’t suppose to cry

I kept ‘em laughin from in my barrel but now it seems too hard to handle
                  Am                C  
So I’ve given’ it up, I’m layin’ it down
