D Bm G
Tell you a story, about a girl named Kimberly
D Bm G
Who all the cowboys wanted cause she was wild and free
D Bm G
But now theres fussing and theres fighting We all taking sides
D Bm G
While the cowboys are playing their old games of conquer and divide. You see
D Bm G
Kimberly was special, a rare and wild soul
D Bm G
Nearly every man who met her, their hearts she always stole
D Bm G
But there are always those exceptions of the cold and callous kind
D Bm G
That wanted just her body and leave the mess for us behind
D Bm G
Now the prince of the cowboys, his name was Barnett

D Bm G
Now its come to a showdown and its all push and pull
D Bm G
Got these lawyers having field day while the cowboys are funding schools
D Bm G

D Bm G
Or just another god damn hole in the ground just another opportunity?
Em G
