INTRO:  D

D                              G
Just a broken down cowboy all down on his luck
               A            D
Been thru the best of his friends
                          G
On a long lonesome in an old pickup truck
                      A         D
Crossed Texas like a hot dusty wind


He was all around cowboy back in '49
From the top it's been a long way down
Since the whiskey and the womens started winnin' his time
They rode him high and hard to the ground


CHORUS:
       G                    D
He remembers the thrill of bein' a winner
      
In the days of his first rodeo
               G                    D
But there's somethin' about winnin' that didn't last forever
G                D
Maybe tomorrow things'll get better
       C                       A
If the Devil lets loose of his soul
                                D
He'll be the all around cowboy again


So he rolls up a smoke sips his Old Crow
Wipes the whiskers that cover his chin
And he grins as he dreams of old rodeos
He's the all around cowboy again


CHORUS
