Rode hard and put up wet
I aimed down, but I can't get up yeah
D Em DIt's a long ride back to the way I want to feel
EmSundown across the plain
I've been sore before, I'll be sore again
D Em DNo place to hide to keep from running
Em
Laid down in a cottonwood hallow
CI left the trail, no man could follow
Is it safe to rest my head again till morning?
EmCracked throat and my canteen's dry
CAnd rain don't fall from an empty sky
So I'll whisper Hail Marys till the sun comes up
Now don't tell me that part of the story when
G DThe cowboy falls in love
CWhen it's raining in his pistol
And his saddle, and the stars above
When the candle's burnin' down
G CAnd when midnight comes around
G DNow all the best that we can hope for
Is to be laughing when we finally hit the ground
Rode hard and come down tired
CStripped from the saddle when the eye of the fire
D Em DAnd deep in dreams of women in clean water
And I did before what I'll do again
CSo forgive me father if I have sinned
D Em DBut the old wood cracks, before it bends
C
Now don't tell me that part of the story when
The cowboy falls in love
CWhen it's raining in his pistol
G DAnd his saddle, and the stars above
G D
When the candle's burnin down
And when midnight comes around
G DNow all the best that we can hope for
CIs to be laughing when we finally hit the ground
Solo
Now don't tell me that part of the story when
G DThe cowboy falls in love
CWhen it's raining in his pistol
And his saddle, and the stars above
When the candle's burnin down
G CAnd when midnight comes around
G DNow all the best that we can hope for
Is to be laughing when we finally hit yeah
When the candle's burnin down
G CAnd when midnight comes around
G DNow all the best that we can hope for
Is to be laughing when we finally hit the ground
