           G
There's a dusty hat up on the dash
of every truck you meet
Country roads and fenceposts as far as you can see
Am7                         D
Billboard sign says, "Rodeo, June eleven
          G
through thirteen"

When you get to town just look around
for the Rusty Nail Cafe
Where the old hands sip their coffee
and relive their glory days
A modern day Charlie Russell scene
Where cowboys are king

Chorus:
   C
I get back there every now and then
 G
Turn a few steers and rope and pen
        C
Just a couple of days and I'm gone again
  D
Chasin' this old six string
           C             D
Oh, but I sure love to be
                   G
Where cowboys are king

Runs the horses down, turn 'em out,
head over to the bar
There'll be George Strait on the jukebox,
and I'll bet the chances are
There'll be some cowgirls in well-worn jeans
Where cowboys are king

Chorus

F               C                G
Boys, as bad as I wish I could stay
F                 C           D
I just hope this never goes away

So I can get back here every now and then
Turn a few steers in the roping pen
Spend a little time with some good old friends
Y'all make it so hard to leave
Oh, but I sure love to be
Where cowboys are king
Oh, and I sure love to be
Where cowboys are king
