[Verse 1]
D G
The winter wind was blowin' when we loaded that old truck
A D
With a few things that we had and all our dreams
D G
With my new bride there beside me we headed down the road
A G A D
I would show her places and things she'd never seen
[Verse 2]
D G
First we went to Denver, Fort Worth, then San Antone
A D
She cheered me on at every rodeo
D G
But Houston finally ended and then San Angelo
A G A D
I didn't want to tell her but she knew that we were broke
[Chorus]
G A D
But she never complained when the winnin's didn't come
G A D
She just took it all in stride
G A D
And if I rode good or bit the dust, she was just as proud
G A D
She was happy bein' by my side
[Verse 3]
D G
Then in California the baby started showin'
A D
And all her clothes were gettin' way too small
D G
We couldn't spare the money to buy her any new ones
A G A D
She just wore my shirt and jeans and didn't mind at all
[Verse 4]
D G
And early in the mornin' we'd wake up by the roadside
A D
I'd build a fire and she'd get out the eggs
D G
She'd cook us up some breakfast then we'd sit down there on the grass
A G A D
Lord, those were the best meals I guess I ever ate
[Chorus]
G A D
But she never complained when the winnin's didn't come
G A D
She just took it all in stride
G A D
And if I rode good or bit the dust, she was just as proud
G A D
She was happy bein' by my side
[Verse 5]
D G
Well now those days are over, and somehow we got ahead
A D
That little gal I married's still here with me
D G
We finally got the house we planned down there beside the stream
A G A D
And all those old hard times are just cherished memories
[Chorus]
G A D
But she never complained when the winnin's didn't come
G A D
She just took it all in stride
G A D
And if I rode good or bit the dust, she was just as proud
G A D
She was happy bein' by my side
[Outro]
G A D
She was happy bein' by my side
