David Allan Coe
Ride 'Em Cowboy
Capo 1
[E]Travlin' with the rodeo,
That's the only life I've ever [F#m]known.
It [B7]started in New Mexico,
Must a been a hundered years [E]ago.
I [E]used to be the best they'd say
Ridin wild horses for my [F#m]pay
[B7]Now I'm too old it seems
I only ride wild horses in my [B7]dreams.
Chorus:
They used to tell me[F#m]
Ride 'Em Cowboy
Don't let 'em throw you down
You can't make no money if you [A]hit the [E]ground.
They just said,[F#m]
Ride 'Em Cowboy
Don't let 'em throw you down
You're the toughest [A]cowboy in [E]town.
Well [A]I've always [B7]been the Rhinestone [E]Cowboy,
[A]I don't care what [B7]Glen Campbell has to [E]say.
What am I supposed to [B7]do?
[E]Midnight was the champion
He's the only bronch I could not [F#m]ride.
[B7]Now they tell me Midnights' blind
Only rides with children for a [E]dime.
[E]Ladies used to hang around
I must a been a hero in their [F#m]eyes,
My [B7]silver spurs are rusty now
Lord I wished I tried to settle [E]down.
Chorus:
