[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
D Bm
He got busted up bad down in Lubbock
G D
He was taking the greyhound back home.
Bm A G
Though the fire in his eye never flickered,
Bm A G
He knew the best of his good days were gone,
D Bm
He said I'm thinking a lot about retiring,
G D
But the rodeo life is all that I know,
Bm A G
hey an' I don't know what to do with the rest,
Bm A G
But I'm too burned out to go on.
He said,
[Chorus]
D A
Scatter the ashes over the road,
Bm G
Then let a strong wind blow,
D
When I can't walk away,
A Bm G
It's my time to go.
[Verse 2]
D Bm
He said son my road map to heaven
G D
Sometimes leads me out of the way
Bm A G
Through those rodeo towns and those drunkin' old sundowns
Bm A G
Someday to an early grave.
D Bm
He pulled his saddle up over his shoulder,
G D
An' said before you throw dirt on my bones,
Bm A G
Hey tell me what do you do with a broken old cowboy.
Bm A G
Who's spent his whole life being thrown.
He said,
[Chorus]
D A
Scatter the ashes over the road,
Bm G
Then let a strong wind blow,
D
When I can't walk away,
A Bm G
It's my time to go.
