C                  F                                C
I'm looking like a lobster wearing flip flops and a Stetson
                              G                      C
Guess that's why they call it fishing instead of catching 
                    F               C
Cause I ain't had a single bite all day
                                 G              C
But I caught a buzz and ain't no limit to Tanqueray

C                      F                 C
Ain't quite sure how I wound up way down here
                              G                        C
It's a long haul to ropes and sails from roping steers
                        F                          C
Ain't gonna worry about that, just gonna have some fun
                             G                C
Got a be one fish down there dumber than I am drunk 


Chorus:
              F
It ain't that far from Waco to Galveston
             C                                                F
I'm what you get when you mix a prairie dog with an old beach bum
                         G
Cow chips, BS, and ships ahoy
                C  F 
I'm a saltwater cowboy 

C                             F                     C
There's a tiki party down the beach about a mile or two
                                     G                   C
Where they're singing with Jimmy and toasting to Chris LeDoux
                              F                     C
And if it weren't for Captain Morgan steering this ship
                                     G              C
I might untie that rope and back her on up outta this 


              F
It ain't that far from Waco to Galveston
             C                                                F
I'm what you get when you mix a prairie dog with an old beach bum
                         G
Cow chips, BS, and ships ahoy
                C  F 
I'm a saltwater cowboy 

        C               F                           C   
If this bottle goes overboard, you'd better wish me luck
                                   G                     C
Cause I'm afraid of sharks but I'm terrified of sobering up 


              F
It ain't that far from Waco to Galveston
             C                                                F
I'm what you get when you mix a prairie dog with an old beach bum
                         G
Cow chips, BS, and ships ahoy
                C  F 
I'm a saltwater cowboy
