[Verse]
C Dm G C
I used to want to be a cowboy spent my childhood dreamin' that
Dm G C
Wearing spurs and boots and six guns and a big ten-gallon hat
F G Em
Chasin' outlaws savin' ladies, bustin' broncs at rodeos
Am G F Em Dm G C
Ridin' off in- to the sunset, like they do in picture shows
C Dm G C
I used to want to be a cowboy, I dreamed about it until the day
Dm G C
That a green-eyed Texas lady smiled and stole my heart a- way
C7 F G Em
Now I'm trackin' down a livin', and as far as I can see
Am G F Em Dm G C
Right now I'm just as much a cowboy as I'm ever gonna be
[Chorus]
C7 F G C
'Cause my round-ups at a truck stop, the trails a super slab
F G C
I wear boots up in the saddle of my eighteen wheelers cab
F G C F
Riding hell bent for the bunkhouse just a- cross the Georgia Line
Dm G
Where to- night I'll see my lady and that little boy of mine
Dm G C
And he wants to be a cowboy, you know somehow I kind of expected that
Dm G C
Wearing spurs and boots and six guns and a big ten-gallon hat
C7 F G Em
And all my cowboy dreams are livin' in that little bucka- roo
Am Dm G C
Cowboys often end up daddies, you know I'm really glad they do
[Tag]
Dm G C
And he wants to be a cowboy, just the way his daddy did
Dm G C
When he's on his broomstick pony, he's Hoppy Roy and the Sisco Kid
Dm G C
And he wants to be a cowboy, just the way his daddy did
