Saw your picture on a poster, in a cafe out in Pheonix;
Bm A2 G G
Guess you're still the sweetheart of the rodeo.
D2 D2/F# G D2
As for me and little Casey, we still make the circuit
Bm A2 G G
In a one-horse trailer and a mobile home.
Em Em A2 A2
And she still asks about you all the time;
Em Em A2 Astop
And I guess we never even cross your mind.
D D/F# G D
But, oh, sometimes I think about you, and the way you used to ride out
D D A A4 A
In your rhinestones and your sequins, with the sunlight on your hair;
D D/F# G D
And, oh, the crowd will always love you, but as for me I've come to know
D A D D
Everything that glitters.... is not gold.

Well, old Red, he's getting older, and last Saturday he stumbled

But you know I just can't bear to let him go.

Little Casey, she's still growing, and she's started asking questions

And there's certain things a man just doesn't know.

Her birthday came and you never even called;

Everybody said you'd make it big someday,

But, oh, sometimes I think about you, and the way you used to ride out
