 Farther Down the Line : Lyle Lovett
 Let's have a hand for that young cowboy
 And wish him better luck next time
 And hope we see him up in Fargo
 Or somewhere farther down the line
 This time he sure drew a bad one
 One that nobody could ride
 But by the way he pulled his hat on
 You knew he'd be there for the fight
 And it's the classic contradiction (Bb-Bb-F)
 The unavoidable affliction
 Well, it don't take much to predict, son
 The way it always goes
 'Cuz one day she says she loves you (Bb-Bb-F)
 And the next she'll be tired of you
 And push'll always come to shove you
 On that midnight rodeo
 He almost made it to the buzzer
 Somehow he gave up in the end
 They put one hand around the other
 And let that pick-up man hone in
 And it was his last chance to ride her
 And now he'll have to move along
 But he knows back in his mind
 He won't be away for long
 And it's the classic contradiction
 The unavoidable affliction
 Well, it don't take much to predict, son
 The way it always goes
 'Cuz one day she says she loves you
 And the next she'll be tired of you
 And push'll always come to shove you
 On that midnight rodeo
 Let's have a hand for that young cowboy (Bb-Bb-F)
 And wish him better luck next time
 And hope we see him up in Fargo
 Or somewhere farther down the line End : Bb-Am-C

This time he sure drew a bad one
One that nobody could ride
But by the way he pulled his hat on
You knew he'd be there for the fight

And it's the classic contradiction  (Bb-Bb-F)
The unavoidable affliction
Well, it don't take much to predict, son
The way it always goes

'Cuz one day she says she loves you   (Bb-Bb-F)
And the next she'll be tired of you
And push'll always come to shove you
On that midnight rodeo

Somehow he gave up in the end
They put one hand around the other
And let that pick-up man hone in

And it was his last chance to ride her
And now he'll have to move along
But he knows back in his mind

On that midnight rodeo

Let's have a hand for that young cowboy   (Bb-Bb-F)
And wish him better luck next time
And hope we see him up in Fargo
Or somewhere farther down the line  End : Bb-Am-C
