F                                                        Bb
He met her in a honky tonk singing country songs that he wrote
G                                                      C7
She sat at a table listening to his music and drinking coke 
     F                                                   Bb
Well he sat down beside her and said, “howdy what’s your name”
    C7                                                               F
She said “I like your music sir but foolin round is certainly not my game”


F#                                                                  B
When the small talk was over the cowboy drank his beer and took her home
C7#                                             F#
Lust on his mind in the bedroom he had her all alone
F#                                               B
And when the night was over the cowboy shook his head
C7#                                                           F#
Cause she slept on the sofa and the cowboy slept alone on his bed

G                                                               C
She still sees the cowboy on the country shows and sometimes on TV
   D                                                                   G
He phones her up and talks to her long distance from wherever he might be
      G                                                       C
He’ll ask her how’s she doing she’ll reply by saying “oh just fine”
        D                                                           G
And the moral of this story is that cowboys don’t get lucky all the time


        D                                                           G
And the moral of this story is that cowboys don’t get lucky all the time
