Intro:  C, F, C, G, C, F, C, G

Verse 1:

C 
Saw his breath in the December night
F
His coat was ripped and his bags were few
C                                         G
He asked me if he could bum a light and a cigarette or two
C                                 F
"Thank you sir, I'm much obliged. This'll help a long bus ride.
C                                G
And if you care to listen twice, let me give you some free advice.


Chorus:

C             G            Am             F                   
I done wasted half my life singing cowboy songs
C              G                   Am                F
Hoping that my words are right and that my voice can hold
C               G              Am                     F
So find a girl, hold on tight. Make her love you with all her might
C                 G            Am                     F 
Choose a spot and settle down, but get the heck outta this old town
F       G          C
Before, you try to stay.

Another year is falling down, people dancing all around

See the city and the colored lights.

You'll taste the wine of the sweet summer nights

I come from somewhere near Birmingham.

I think I might go back there again and

Try to waste the rest of my life singing cowboy songs
