[3/4 time]
G / C / G D G C G
G C
Saw a sign on the highway I was driving along
G D
Way home on a hill top is where I belong
G C
I took a look at the home where my head used to be
G D
And I'll sing you a song that descended on me
G C G D G
The way I live determines the way my people survive
G C G D C C/B Am7 G C G
Yes the way I live determines the way my people survive
G C
So I went to the country to look up a friend
G D
Cos I heard that the house and the barn had a blend
G C
I took a look at the hole where the bird used to be
G D
And I'll sing him a song because he sang one for me
G C G D G
The way I live determines the way my people survive
G C G D C C/B Am7 G C G
Yes the way I live determines the way my people survive
C D Bm
And the names of the cowboys will all blow away
C D Bm
Like the dust off the desert on a hot windy day
C D Bm C
I've tried so hard to tell you in so many ways
C Am7 D G
That I'm scared of the heartache and scenes with the cowboy of dreams
G / C / G / D / G / C / G / D /
C D Bm
And the names of the cowboys will all blow away

That I'm scared of the heartache and scenes with the cowboy of dreams
