Sunday mornin' at pancake heaven after Saturday night was used up
F C G G7
Everybody's Tequila sunrise was a hung-over coffee cup
F C Am
There was an old man at the counter in a beat up Stetson hat
C G C
singing whiskey by the mem'ries and I could hear him from where I sat
Chorus:
F C F C
They called me Bulldog Roy in the days of the wild west show
F G G7
And I'm tellin' you boys that was a mighty long time ago
F C Am
Now I'm the star of the Blue Moon Bar in this life I've come to know
C G C
Spare change for a poor old cowboy down on the Skid Row rodeo
It started out in Amarillo where the land is dusty and flat
From the Ohio down to Mexico, I rode ev'ry thing after that
Then when all my bones were busted just like my money and my pride
I saddled up old Jack Daniels and from there it's been a hell of a ride
Repeat chorus:
Well, the Sun broke though the window, he said I got to be movin' along
I handed him my last dollar as I watched him stumble into the dawn
I wish that damned juke-box was busted 'cuase I'm tired of hearing B-21
Hank, Jr. ain't never gonna sing 'em the way his daddy done
F C
Oh, its a Skid Row rodeo
F C
I been down so low out on that Skid Row rodeo
