Intro: C
C
I was mindin' my business and holdin' the fort
F
And I still remember how you sallied forth
C
And my mind, it was busy, warnin' my heart
F Bb C
But, hell, you ain't a cowboy if you ain't been bucked off
The story's familiar, the oldest tale in the west
F
I fell into love then the bird left the nest
C
Well I guess that there's reasons we let our hard hearts go soft
F Bb C
And you ain't a cowboy if you ain't been bucked off
F C
There's all kinds of horses will leave you grabbin' the breeze
F C
Busted up and broken up with scars you can't see
Fm C
But if you ain't been bucked off and been throwed a few times
Fm C
It don't count for nothin' when you make that last ride
