(Verse)
Daddy (C)watched John Wayne on a (Cmaj7)corduroy couch
I (Am)didn't know Texas from a (C)hole in the ground
But it (Cmaj7)roped me in,
That's where it (Am)all began
A (C)stick was a rifle, a (Cmaj7)bullet was a rock
The (Am)good guys won and the bad guys lost
We (C)climbed them trees (Cmaj7)
We were (Am)wild and free 
(Dm)Me and my (Am)buddies ran that (F)town

(Chorus)
We were (C)cowboys (Cmaj7)
Runnin' (Am)like wild horses that couldn't be tamed
We were (C)cowboys (Cmaj7)
(Am)Didn't know nothing but we (C)knew everything
We never (Dm)made it eight, never won a (C/E)buckle
But (F)man, we were something - - -

(Verse)
Well, when I (C)turned sixteen my saddle was the front seat
(C)Of that 1993 Silver-(Cmaj7)ado
On a (Am)dirt road (C)
I was (C)Eastwood cool with a (Cmaj7)Marlboro Red
(C)Aztec blanket in an eight foot bed
Earnin' (C)braggin' rights, every (Am)Saturday night (C) 
Them (Dm)small town girls couldn't help but (C/E)fall for us (CF)

(Chorus)
We were (C)cowboys (Cmaj7)
Runnin' (Am)like wild horses that couldn't be tamed
We were (C)cowboys (Cmaj7)
(Am)Didn't know nothing but we (C)knew everything
We (Dm)never made it eight, never won a (C/E)buckle
But (F)man, we were something, (C)yeah (Cmaj7) (Am) (G) yeah, yeah
(C) (Cmaj7) (Am) (G) We were cowboys

(Break)
We were (C)cowboys
Jumpin' (Am)barbed wire fences and ropin' the wind
We were (C)owboys
Naw, (Am)ain't a thing changed since we were kids

(Chorus)
We were (C)cowboys (Cmaj7)
Runnin' (Am)like wild horses that couldn't be tamed
We were (C)cowboys (Cmaj7)
(Am)Didn't know nothing but we (C)knew everything
We (Dm)never made it eight, never won a (C/E)buckle
But (F)man, we were something
(F)Wouldn't change nothing
(Dm)Couldn't tell us nothing, 'cause man, we were (C/E)something
(F)Damn, we were something

(Outro.)
