PLAY IN ¾ TIME WITH A NICE, STEADY "PLUCK, STRUM, STRUM" PATTERN.
Just a [E]rodeo drifter, he [A]comes and he [E]goes,
Like a wild wind that blows in the [B7]night.
The [E]highways and backroads are [A]all that he [E]knows,
He’ll be gone with the [A]mornin’s grey [E]light.
Like a [E]blue norther howlin’ like the [A]tumbleweeds [E]blow,
There’s no way to settle him [B7]down.
His [E]spirit’s as wild as the [A]horses he [E]rides,
His freedom he [A]wears like a [E]crown.
CHORUS
And he [A]rides the wild [E]horses,
The same blood flows through their [B7]veins.
Yes he [A]rides the wild [E]horses,
Like the horses he’ll [A]never be [E]tamed.
He’ll [E]never be broke, he [A]won’t be tied [E]down,
He’ll never wear no man’s [B7]brand.
[E]He won’t fit in with the [A]nine to five [E]crowd
Cause movin’s all [A]he under[E]stands.
CHORUS x 2
