D Bm G D
He got busted up bad up in Lubbock; he was taking the greyhound back home
Bm A G Bm A G
Though the fire in his eye never flickered, he knew the best of his good days were gone
D Bm G D
His said I been thinking a lot ‘bout retiring, but the rodeo life’s all I know
Bm A G Bm A G
And I don’t know what to do with the rest, I’m too burnt out to go on
Chorus:
D A Bm G
He said scatter the ashes over the road
Bm G
then let a strong wind blow
D A Bm G
When I can’t walk away, it’s my time to go
He said son my road map to heaven sometimes leads me out of the way
Through those rodeo towns, and those drunken old sun downs, someday to an early grave
He pulled his saddle up over his shoulder and said before you throw dirt on my bones
Hey tell me what do you do with a broken old cowboy who spent his whole life being thrown
