G                          C                    G
Im a cowboy on the trail, I got a prairie for a bed
    C                          G                        D
A wide open sky for a blanket, a saddle underneath my head
G 	                                C                              G
Been gone six months pushin 900 head, three months til I reach the end
C                  G                      D                       G
Gonna draw my pay when I get to Montana then its back to Texas again

Chorus

C   G 	                  C               G
So just sing a song, of cowboys and sailors
C           G                            D                 
Old rusty trailors and that salty ocean air
C    G           C            G
Keep holdin on, the cowboy is dying
C                G              D                        G
Theres  a lonely woman crying, lord please take him there

G                          C                           G
Its dawn out on the ocean, southern wind full in the sails
    C                                   G                         D
The sea life will make a poor man a king, a rich man feel like hell
G                                        C                               G
Ive seen three hurricanes and one typhoon but the sea aint claimed me yet
C  	  	             G                   D                 G
This time next year Ill be home sippin rum, on that boys you can bet

Chorus
G                            C                       G
Ive driven all over hell and half of the United States
      C                        G                              D
With Bill Mack playin me Lefty Frizell and old Willie Nelson tapes
G                                C                     G
Livin on fast food and nicotine, bleeding it to the bone
    C                    G                   D                 G
Got one more gig at the end of this run then boys were goin home
