Acapella:
Bury me where the wind don't blow, where the dust won't cover me
Where the tall grass grows
Or bury me right where I fall, Tokyo to Tennessee
I loved them all

        G
See the windmills turn up 55
             C                          G
Still got so much to learn, still feel alive
        G
And one lonely girl is all I need
          C                           G
To tie me to this world and make me believe


Chorus 1:
                D7               G
Well I ain't no cowboy but I can ride
               D7                G
And I ain't no outlaw but I been inside
                       C                                  G
And there were bars of steel, boys and there were bars to sing
                         D                               G
And there were bars with swinging doors for all the time between

 
Bury me in the last few lines
Of an obituary for these trying times
Find an old live oak and carve my name
Hard liquor and dirty jokes, cheap picture frames

Chorus 2:
Well I ain't no cowboy but I can ride
I ain't no outlaw but I been inside
There were men of stone, boys and there were men of sand
Long nights alone boys, head in my hands

Chorus 1

And there were bars with swinging doors for all the time between
