[Verse]
CThem bareback horses are the only thing
They Fmake your back hurt they make your bell ring
They're G7hard on tailbones and they make your neck sore
But when it's all over you're craving some Cmore
[Verse]
Well you drive down the road in a broke down car
You Fstop in some town you wonder where in the hell you are
You G7get yourself a road map and head out once again
With only enough for fees so you'd damn sure better Cwin
You Ffinally make the pitchin' with your Centry fees all paid
You get G7on another snatcher and he Cflings you away
So you Chead to town broken hearted Flookin' for a chance
To G7get a little drunk and find some girl and Cdance
[Verse]
Well you meet a little girl at the Fbar all alone
You G7whoop some words on her to get her to take you Chome
But she's got a big boyfriend who Fjust came from the can
And he says G7move on there buddy cause he's her lovin' Cman
So you cFlimb back in your car after your Clittle bitty fight
You're G7drunk and broken hearted
And it's Ctwelve o'clock at night
And you ain't got a dime in your Fold blue jeans
But G7by god you got a half a tank of gas
And a can of pork and Cbeans
[Verse]
FYou write a hot check to pay your fees once again
You G7got yourself a good one so you ought to Cwin
The horse is standin' in the chute Fthen he bucks around
The G7whistle blows then you're standin' on the Cground
The Fjudges total their markings and they Ctally up the score
And you're G7beatin' everybody by at Cleast ten points or more
So you climb back in your car with a Fpocket full of cash
A good G7feelin' in your heart and a tank full of Cgas
[Outro]
But boys the day finally comes when you get Fold and grey
You G7gotta hang your spurs up and put your Criggin' away
You look back now with a Fwantin' eye
But G7brother it's all gone so you sit and Ccry

Them Bareback Horses

by Chris LeDoux

Lyrics & chords · Original key

[Verse]

Them bareback horses are the only thing

They make your back hurt they make your bell ring

They're hard on tailbones and they make your neck sore

But when it's all over you're craving some more

[Verse]

Well you drive down the road in a broke down car

You stop in some town you wonder where in the hell you are

You get yourself a road map and head out once again

With only enough for fees so you'd damn sure better win

F C

You finally make the pitchin' with your entry fees all paid

G7 C

You get on another snatcher and he flings you away

C F

So you head to town broken hearted lookin' for a chance

G7 C

To get a little drunk and find some girl and dance

[Verse]

Well you meet a little girl at the bar all alone

G7 C

You whoop some words on her to get her to take you home

But she's got a big boyfriend who just came from the can

G7 C

And he says move on there buddy cause he's her lovin' man

F C

So you climb back in your car after your little bitty fight

You're drunk and broken hearted

And it's twelve o'clock at night

And you ain't got a dime in your old blue jeans

But by god you got a half a tank of gas

And a can of pork and beans

[Verse]

You write a hot check to pay your fees once again

G7 C

You got yourself a good one so you ought to win

The horse is standin' in the chute then he bucks around

G7 C

The whistle blows then you're standin' on the ground

F C

The judges total their markings and they tally up the score

G7 C

And you're beatin' everybody by at least ten points or more

So you climb back in your car with a pocket full of cash

G7 C

A good feelin' in your heart and a tank full of gas

[Outro]

But boys the day finally comes when you get old and grey

G7 C

You gotta hang your spurs up and put your riggin' away

You look back now with a wantin' eye

G7 C

But brother it's all gone so you sit and cry
