A Cowboy Rides
Recorded by Jason Michael Carroll

(Capo on 4)

Intro.:  |(G) |(C) |(G) |(C)

A (G)beat up truck by the creek bed, a (C)head full of things that she said
The only (G)comfort he has left is by his (D)side
(G) Round bottle and a paper sack, (C)watchin' the blue sky fade to black
He (G)would be heading home about this (D)time
But to-(Em)night his truck will drive right by their (C)street
Her (Em)minds made up and he knows (C)that it's time to (D)leave

(Chorus)
When a cowboy (C)rides into the (G)sunset, all he (C)owns is tears and (G)regrets
A buckle or (C)two, his chaps, and (D)vests, a broken (G)heart in a (G/A)tan-(G/B)gled (C)mess
And the memory of the (G)one he left be-(D)hind
When a cowboy (C) rides

Inst.:  --- |(C) |(C) |(C) |(G) |(G) |(G) |(G) |

(G)Six more miles to San Antone, (C)feels like he fought at the Alamo
And the (G)Texas sun isn't fair to tear stained (D)eyes
(G)He'll ride for the pain and wind or (C)he'll fall off and lose again
But he'll (G)get back up and try tomorrow night (D)

(Chorus)
When a cowboy (C)rides into the (G)sunset, all he (C)owns is tears and (G)regrets
A buckle or (C)two, his chaps, and (D)vests, a broken (G)heart in a (G/A)tan-(G/B)gled (C)mess
And the memory of the (G)one he left be-(D)hind
When a cowboy (C) rides

(Bridge)
(Em) He doesn't care 'bout the (C)money he's lost
Or the (G)broken bones and sleeveless nights he's (D) spent
(Em) 'Cause more than one time he's (C)counted the cost
And it all (G)comes down to the woman that he (D) left

(Chorus)
When a cowboy (C)rides into the (G)sunset, all he (C)owns is tears and (G)regrets
A buckle or (C)two, his chaps, and (D)vests, a broken (G)heart in a (G/A)tan-(G/B)gled (C)mess
And the memory of the (G)one he left be-(D)hind
When a cowboy (C) rides
