Cowboy Boot Heel (Title Track) by Rob McNurlin
[Verse 1]
CEarly mornGing almost Cdawn
CI saddle the Gpony I rode in Con
EmYou know I told you I must Fgo
CAs my cowboy boot heel Gtaps out the rhythm of my Csoul
[Verse 2]
CThe sound of leather Greins on the saddle Chorn
CHow I hate to Gleave my coraCzon
EmUp in the mountains I see Fsnow
CAs my cowboy boot heel Gtaps out the rhythm of my Csoul
[Verse 3]
CDon't ask how Glong I'll be Cgone 
CI'm heading for the Ghills of the unCknown
EmJust what I'll find there I don't Fknow
CAs my cowboy boot heel Gtaps out the rhythm of my Csoul
[Bridge]
I Emmay find danger,I mAmay find strangers
EmDressed as angels Cunawares
I Emmay find peace I Ammay find grief
Or Emgirls with raven GhairG7  
[Verse 4]
CI'll trade these Gjewels for things I Cneed
CGod will proGtect me as I Csleep
EmMy Indian blankets will keep me from the Fcold
CAs my cowboy boot heel Gtaps out the rhythm of my Csoul
[Verse 5]
CHas it been a Gweek or just a Cday
CIs this the Gtrail or have I lost my Cway
EmUp ahead I see your Fghost
CAs my cowboy boot heel Gtaps out the rhythm of my Csoul
[Verse 6]
CThere are sGpirits all aCround
CI lose my grip Gand fall to the gCround
EmMy pony's head is hanging Flow
CAs an angels boot heel Gtaps out the rhythm of my Csoul
Ending
CAn angels boot heel tapGs out the rhythm of my FsoulC
