Strum
D-DU-UDU
Last  night you told  her, you  could never hold  her
 Cause cowboys  just got to be free
Her  heart was breakin',  and  yours was achin'
 But you saddled  up to follow  your dreams
Coffee  on your campfire,  wind  through the barbed  wire
You  huddle close to the flames
Though  she's far behind  you, the night  wind reminds  you
 It just keeps  on whispering  her name
You  can make a run  for the border
Try  to hide in the hole  in the wall
But  don't you know your arms are achin'  to hold her
 And cowboy  even though you're ridin tall
 Your ridin' for a fall
Midnight  the moons  up, hands  around your tin  cup
 The frost  settles in on the sage
The  night's gettin' colder, and  man your gettin older
Tonight  your feelin'  your age
So  why don't you turn  back, just  saddle up and back track
 You know you'll never  find a love quite like hers
 And tell me, on  a cold lonesome evenin'
What  the hell good's your freedom
 Don't you think  it's time you hung  up your spurs
 Enjoy!
