Hope you enjoy it... :P

Intro: |G/B-G-|C---|D---|G---|

G/B                     G                 C
Horses are running wide open I just gotta ride
         D                                               G
To those honky-tonk bars that stay open way past closing time
G/B                           G                      C
Songs about free thinkin’ and drinking sure light my fire
     D                                                    G
That flame leaves a scar on my heart like an old branding iron

(Chorus)
         G                       C
She said rodeo man where are you going
          D                                         G
Don’t you know that the life of a cowboy is no good alone
G                                           C
If you tear down that fence of rusty barbed wire
          D                                       G
Then I’ll lay down beside you and be your shotgun rider

G/B                     G                   C
Yesterday’s nothing but dust I brush off my boots
          D                                                      G
While I’m wearing out roads don’t you know that I’m sure missing you
G/B                            G                 C
If I leave you’ll be wondering when I’ll be back again
        D                                                   G
Between Texas and ranchers and old friends where do you fit in

Chorus
