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
