[Verse] Tony Joe White
Am D
City light are shining like diamonds
Am D
Coming from the southwestern lows
Am D
Big jet engines screaming like ten thousand horses
F G Am
Another town, another show

[Verse] Waylon Jennings
Am D
I don't talk about the women that I've known from time to time
Am D
You know that I just can't be alone
Am D
You know there's no one waiting for me anywhere
F G Am
But I love, like I love the one at home
F G
love the one at home

[Chorus]
D Am
So you want to be a cowboy singer
D Am
It can make you rich or make you poor
D Am
Just turn it loose, let it out, and hook em' down the road
F G Am
( There's always room for one more

[Verse] Waylon and Tony Joe
Am D
Sometimes when I look into the mirror
Am D
I can see that I've been crazy now and then
Am D
The lines on my face won't tell you where I'm going
F G Am
But it sure can tell you where I've been

[Chorus]
D Am
So you want to be a cowboy singer
D Am
Pick them ol' guitars every night
D Am
If you're ever down around Corpus Christi Texas
F G Am
Be sure to tell them all I said hi
F G Am
Be sure to tell them all I said hi
