My wife left me 5 yrs ago
F C
In one of them rodeo towns
G
I c-ain't say that I blame her much,
D G
She just wanted to settle down.
F C
Oh God how I miss that woman

And it hurt so to see her go.
G C
But if I was smart I woulda stuck by her
G C
But I'm hooked on this rodeo.

[Verse]
There was a time I used to do alright
G D
And bring home my share a dough
A
But now I'm losin out to the younger boys
E A
I guess I must be gettin slow.
G D
If there's one thing you learn from this,
A
You gotta make it on your own.
G D
Cause when your on top you got a million friends
A D
But when your down Buddy your all alone.
G D
Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy
A
I'm a little bit over the hill
G D
I should quit this thing a long time ago
E A
But I guess I never will.

So I keep on moving from show to show hopin to change my luck.

My good ole days are all a memory

But I just c-ain't give it up.
