        C                      F           C
Just a broken down cowboy all down on his luck
      F                             C    G7
He's been through the best of his friends
      C                          F            C
On a long lonesome highway in an ol' pickup truck
       F           G7         C
Cross Texas with a hot dusty wind

He was all around cowboy 1959
From the top it's been a long way down
Since the whiskey and ladies started winnin' his time
They rode him high and hard to the ground

Chorus:
          F                             C
But he remembers the thrill of bein' a winner
                              G7
And the feeling of bein' a beginner
                            C
In the days of his first rodeo
               F
But there was somethin' about winnin'
                     C
 that didn't last forever
                               G7
But tomorrow it's bound to get better
                                 C
He'll be the all around cowboy again

The windmills are turning on the west Texas plains
But he's dry as an old river bed
He's just like the dust that's a searching for rain
But he knows he'll be riding again

So he rolls up a smoke and he sips his Old Crow
Wipe the whiskers that cover his chin
He grins as he dreams of the next rodeo
To be the all around cowboy again
