Cowboy Pride
B B7 E
Well, I'm writing you this letter
B
and it's a long time overdue
F#7
You're thinkin' "Just mind your own business"
B
I wouldn't blame you if you do
B7 E
You know our range is gettin' smaller
B
Hear you're all busted up inside
F#7
But it ain't the Broncos that'll kill you
B
It's just that damned old cowboy pride
B7 E
Cowboy pride can always get a man through
B
but cowboy pride will make a fool of you
F#7
Good women are hard to find
B
I'm talkin' about the faithful kind
B7 E
I hear you're running with that waitress
B
and she's under age and wild
F#7
You know your wife's the best there is, fella
B
Would you move in with that child?
B7 E
She stuck with you through the hard times
B
Think of all the nights she cried
F#7
Will she be another victim
B
of that same old cowboy pride
(Change to Key of C)
C C7 F
Guess it's time to close my letter
C
It's just somethin' that I had to do
G7
You know I made the same mistake once
C
before she fell in love with you
C7 F
So go home to your wife and family
C
It's time to put the past aside
G7
So you don't end up like me now
C
Nothin' left but cowboy pride
C7 F
Cowboy pride can always get a man through
C
but cowboy pride will make a fool of you
G7
Good women are hard to find
C
I'm talkin' about the faithful kind
G7
Don't end up like me now
C
with nothin' left but cowboy pride
