  			C             F                        C 
Oh I'm just a cowboy on my way back to Houston 

                       F 
I used to play the rodeos 
  
                            C 
But I can’t play ’em like I used to 

              Am               C 
I’ve given it up I’m laying it down 

         Am                F     G7 
I’ve had enough of being a rodeo clown 

          C          Em              F 
So if you see a tear running down my face 

             Dm        F       G7               C 
Don’t ask me why cause cowboys ain’t suppose to cry 



              F                           C 
Oh I'm just a drifter on my way back from Denver 

                            F 
I kept ’em laughing from in my barrel 
  
                          C 
But now it seems too hard to handle 

                 Am               C 
So I’ve given it up I’m laying it down 

         Am                F     G 
I’ve had enough of being a rodeo clown 

          C          Em              F 
So if you see a tear running down my face 

             Dm        F       G7               C 
Don’t ask me why cause cowboys ain’t suppose to cry 



      F       G7               C 
Cause cowboys ain’t suppose to cry
