[B] [A]
Another Jake break wakes me [E] up to a hotel lobby coffee cup
[C#] That dirty old white [B] pickup truck [A] with a trailer hooked up by the Denny's, [E] she's mine
Last night's bugs on the [F#] windshield, fast food trash on the dash [C#] meal
Speeding [B] ticket and a doctor bill [A] from a gash I got from a short going Casper
Summer of last year, maybe next year
And [E] I ride and I fall, one day I might win them all
It's just some broken hearts and broken bones, [B] a hell of a lot of being alone
And I ride [E] and I roam, where I hang my [A] hat is home
[E] This cowboy life might kill me, but it's the only one [A] I know
[E] [C#m]
[A] [E] Cell phone was breaking up, the night she called to say she had enough [C#] of my little white lies
[B] Little white [E] lies, and I wanted somebody who could never be with her
I look back on every fork in the road [A] that I took to chase that buckle of gold
[C#m] And wonder if what I held [B] for what I hold was [A] worth trading away, well I don't know
All I know [E] is I ride and I fall, one day I might win them [A] all
It's [E] just some broken hearts and broken bones, [B] a hell of a [B] lot of being [E] alone
And I ride and I [E] roam, where I hang my hat is [A] home
[E] This cowboy life might kill me, but it's the [B] only one I know
[E]
Yeah, it'll kill [A] me before it ever lets me go
[E] It'll kill me, but it's the only life I know
And I'd rather die than be caught crying, so [A] I just smile and wear my hat [B] down
