[Verse 1]
AmBeen in the Csaddle since the Fsun came Cup
AmRounding up Gstrays in, this oleF; West TexaGs dust
AmShe's been pCacking her things sFince I put Ccoffee on
By Amsundown Gshe'll be Cgone
[Verse 2]
AmDamn this olCe girth, worn riFght in twoC  
AmBut a spare Glength of leather aFnd I'll makGe it do
AmJust when I Cthink I've got life Fby the reiCns
HomAme ain't Gsweet home Con the range
[Chorus]
If Amheartaches were hCorses and haFrd times were caCttle
I'd Amride home at Gsunset, sitting Ftall in the Csaddle
If Amheartaches were hGorses and haFrd time were catCtle
[Bridge]
And sBbmhe'd say she loved me and thCis cowboy way of life
She'd Gmbe right beside me when we Grode home tonight
[Chorus]
If Amheartaches were hCorses and haFrd times were caCttle
I'd Amride home at Gsunset, sitting Ftall in the Csaddle
If Amheartaches were hGorses and haFrd time were catCtle
