Bourbon Cowboy

[G]

I [C]leave these city lights[Cadd9]
Ev'ry [G]Friday and Saturday night[G7]
[C]Back to this hole-in-the-wall [Cadd9]
I still [G]get that back home call[G7]

I left my [C]ranch and now it's gone[Cadd9]
I don't fit [G]in but still I'm holdin' on[G7]
When I [C]sit at the bar it suites me[Cadd9]
Where's the [G]cowboy I used to [D7]be

     I ain't an [G]Urban cowboy that don't [D7]understand
     [Am]What it's like to live and [C]work the land
     So [C]I sit here drinkin' and feelin' [Em]coy
     [Am]Hey [D7]Hey look at [G]me  I'm a Bourbon Co[G]wboy

   [G]When you don't rope and you don't rustle and don't [C]work the land
   When you're [D7]all tied up in suites 'cause you're a [G]business man
   [E]Drinkin' on the weekend at some honky-tonk that brings you [G]joy
   [E]Fetch another round lay that bottle down on the counter [G]boy
   [Am]I'm a whiskey drinkin' self defeatin' boot wearin' corporate [D]toy
   [Am]Hey, [D7]Hey look at [G]me   I'm a Bourbon Co[G]wboy

I leave the [C]honky-tonk after the fights[Cadd9]
On my [G]way back home I just sigh[G7]
I [C]look in the mirror to see[Cadd9]
The [G]cowboy I used to be[G7]

[C]Contrary to that poem[Cadd9]
Some[G]times you just can't go home[G7]
At [C]least not to a place[Cadd9]
That [G]progress has stripped a[D7]way



[A]Hey, [D7]Hey look at [G]me  I'm a Bourbon C[G]owboy
[A]Have a [D7]drink with [G]Me  I'm a Bourbon Cow[G]boy
