G
There's a dusty hat up on the dash of every truck you meet
G
Country roads and fenceposts as far as you can see
Am D G
Billboard sign says, "Rodeo, June eleven through thirteen"
G
When you get to town just look around for the Rusty Nail Cafe
G
Where the old hands sip their coffee and relive their glory days
Am D
A modern day Charlie Russell scene where cowboys are king
Chorus)
C
I get back there every now and then
G
Turn a few steers and rope and pen
C
Just a couple of days and I'm gone again
D
Chasin' this old six string
C
Oh, but I sure love to be
D G
Where cowboys are king
Runs the horses down, turn 'em out, head over to the bar
There'll be George Strait on the jukebox, and I'll bet the chances are
There'll be some cowgirls in well-worn jeans where cowboys are king
(Chorus)
I get back there every now and then
Turn a few steers and rope and pen
Just a couple of days and I'm gone again
Chasin' this old six string
Oh, but I sure love to be
Where cowboys are king
Bridge:
F C G
Boys, as bad as I wish I could stay
F C D
I just hope this never goes away
Chorus 2:
So I can get back here every now and then
Turn a few steers in the rope and pen
Spend a little time with some good old friends
Y'all make it so hard to leave
Oh, but I sure love to be
Where cowboys are king
Oh, and I sure love to be
Where cowboys are king
