So you [D]wanna be a cowboy and you [G]wanna rode[D]o
Well I don’t see nothin to hold you back just [E]pack your stuff and [A]go.
You’ll [D]travel many highways and [G]boy you’re gonna see it [D]all
You’ll have yourself some good times but you’re [A7]gonna take some [D]falls.
Now [D]lay off the hard liquor, [G]leave them pills a[D]lone
They’ll only dull the senses and [E]leave you weak and [A]stoned
If you [D]wanna be a winner son you [G]better play it [D]straight
Give it everything you got when they [A7]open up the [D]gate.
CHORUS
Well there [G]ain’t no easy [D]goin on the [A]rodeo [D]trail
For [G]every man that’s [D]made it, a [E]hundred men have [D]failed
But [G]if you’re mighty [D]lucky and [A7]you gotta lot of [D]try
There’s a [G]big gold buckle [D]waitin at the [A7]end of the [D]line.
Now [D]if you got a woman son, you [G]better know her [D]well
Cause it takes a special lady to [E]follow you through [A]hell
But [D]if she’ll stand beside you when you’re [G]down to your last [D]dime
You’ve got yourself a treasure that [A7]few men ever [D]find.
CHORUS
