E A Another Jake break wakes me up to a hotel lobby coffee cup, C#m B A That dirty old white pickup truck with the trailer hooked up by the Denny's she's mine Last night's bugs on the windshield Fast food trash on the dash meal Speedin' ticket and a doctor bill From a gash I got from a short go in Casper Summer of last year, maybe next year Chorus: A E A E Oh, and I ride and I fall, One day A I might win 'em all, E It's just broken hearts and broken bones, B and a hell of a whole lot of being alone E A E A But I ride and I roam, where I hang my hat is home E B This cowboy life might kill me, but it's the only A one I know Cell phone was breakin' up The night she called to say she'd had enough Of my little white lies and little white lines And wantin' somebody who could never be with her I look back on every fork in the road That I took to chase that buckle of gold And wonder if what I held for what I hold is worth tradin' away Hell I don't know, all I know Chorus: Is I ride, and I fall One day I might win 'em all Just some broken hearts and broken bones And a hell of a whole lot of bein' alone But I ride and I roam Where I hang my hat is home This cowboy life might kill me But it's the only one I know E A Yeah it'll kill me before it ever lets me go, E It'll kill me, but it's the only life I know A And I'd rather die than be caught crying, E B so I just smile and wear my hat down low A Wear my hat down low Chorus: And I ride, and I fall One day I might win 'em all Just some broken hearts and broken bones And a hell of a whole lot of bein' alone But I ride and I roam Where I hang my hat is home This cowboy life might kill me But it's the only one I know Yeah this cowboy life might kill me But it's the only one I know | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  B  C#m  E  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
