cowboy chords

you could say i reached that time i know my trade

and that i know how to care for my guitar

and i know how to get it played

i'm comfortable and i sleep on a floor

i've played a fair few shows

and i'm gonna play more

and all along the while i was just trying to make people smile

i play cowboy chords

for these air conditioned words

about longing for the prairie and living in the suburbs

i sing simple songs

about rights and wrongs

about finding that trail that leads away from everyone

and darling i know i did not give you much

i got hungry for some wandering

and i don't come back for months

and i kept your picture by my side

it's in my wallet

it's on my mind

and every song i know contains a whisper of your soul

i play cowboy chords

for these air conditioned words

about longing for the prairie and living in the suburbs

i sing simple songs

about rights and wrongs

about finding that trail that leads away from everyone

and so my days slip away

they're all the same

rolling wheels

hotel rooms

and going grey

casting glances over my shoulders as i go

trying not to dwell on things i do not know

i know my trade out on these boards

cowboy chords

i know my trade out on these boards

cowboy chords

i know my trade out on these boards

cowboy chords

i know my trade out on these boards
