Granpa was a cowboy, rode thru the country
G                  D
Lands far way from here
G                      C  
Slept under the stars, faced rain and warm

Things aren't anymore like this
G                        C
I left, and my mom cried, blew me a sweet kiss
G               D       G
Waved goodbye under the trees
