G C Friend I'm writing you this letterG And it's a long time overdue You're thinking just mind your ownD7 businessG I wouldn't blame you if you do You know our range is gettin'C smallerG Hear you're all busted up inside But it ain't the broncos that'llD7 kill you It's just that damned old cowboyG prideC Cowboy pride can always get a manAm throughD7 G But cowboy pride will make a fool of youD7 Good women are hard to findG I'm talkin' about the faithful kindContinues after the adI hear you're running with thatC waitressG And she's under age and wild You know your wife's the best thereD7 is sonG Would you move in with that childC She stuck with you through the hard timesG Think of all the nights she criedD7 Will she be another victimG Of that same old cowboy prideC Guess it's time to close my letterG It's just somethin' that I had to doD7 You know I made the same mistake onceC Before she fell in love with youC So go home to your wife and familyG It's time to put the past asideD7 So you don't end up like me nowG Nothin' left but cowboy prideC Cowboy pride can always get a manAm throughD7 G But cowboy pride will make a fool of youD7 Good women are hard to findG I'm talkin' about the faithful kindD7 Don't end up like me nowG With nothin' left but cowboy pride
