Last [A] night you told her [Bm] you could [A] never hold her
[G] Cause [D] cowboys just got to be [A] free
[Bm] [A] Her [D]
[A] heart was breaking, [Bm] [A] yours was aching
[G] But you saddled up to follow [D] your dreams
Coffee [A] on your campfire, [Bm] wind [A] through the barbed wire
[G]
You [D] huddle close to [A] the [D] flames
[A] [D]
Though she's far [A] behind you

[G] It just beeps on whispering her [D] name
You [G] [A]
can make [G] a run for it, [D] for her

Why [A] don't you turn back, [Bm] just saddle [A] up and backtrack
[G] You know you'll never [D] find a love quite [A] like hers
Tell me, [D] on a cold, [A] lonesome evening
[Bm] What the hell got [A] you freedom?
[G] Don't you think it's time you [A] hung up [D] your spurs?
[G] [A]
You can [G] make a run for it, [D] for her
