Ropin' Pen by Trent Willmon 
Intro:  D4x
DEvery Friday afternoon I hitch up the trailer
GSaddle up old Rock and ice down the cooler
EmDrive that back road Auntil it ends at the ropiDn pen
DThere's rusted out pickups and fancy rigs
G$20,000 horses then there's my old stick
EmBut we're all the same the Aminute we ride in to the Dropin pen
Chorus
Well I Cain't no GClay or DSpeed
But I Cgive her hell, hell you Gnever can tell
SomedAay I just might be
We'll Dturn a few steers and tell a few lies
GKick back in the saddle and philosophize
Most of Emlife's problems we can probably Asolve 'em at the Dropin' pen
Solo:  G   A   G  A  
DWe Don't do it for the money hell we're always broke
GJust ask my old buddy Nathan what he'd pay to rope
Lost Ema couple wifes half the Afingers on his hand to the Dropin' pen
DAnd It takes a little skill and a little luck
GAnd you can talk smack if you can back it up
Ah Embut we're all friends no Amatter who wins here at the Dropin' pen
Chorus #2
Well I Cain't no GClay or DSpeed
But I Cgive 'er hell, hell you Gnever can tell
SomeAday I just might be
We'll turn Danother pen of steers and tell a few more lies
GDrink another beer and hypothesize most of life's Emproblems
Hell we're gonna Asolve 'em at the Dropin' pen
See ya'All again nAext weekend here at the ropin' pen
DAt the ropin' pen down at the ropin pen
DAt the ropin' pen

Em A D

But we're all the same the minute we ride in to the ropin pen

Chorus

C G D

Well I ain't no Clay or Speed

But I give her hell, hell you never can tell

Someday I just might be

We'll turn a few steers and tell a few lies

Kick back in the saddle and philosophize

Em A D

Most of life's problems we can probably solve 'em at the ropin' pen

G A G A

Solo:

We Don't do it for the money hell we're always broke

Just ask my old buddy Nathan what he'd pay to rope

Em A D

Lost a couple wifes half the fingers on his hand to the ropin' pen

And you can talk smack if you can back it up

Ah but we're all friends no matter who wins here at the ropin' pen
