Clayton was a cowboy from Branson, Colorado

He never had a drink he didn't like

I guess that's just the way old Clayton liked to live his life

[Verse 2]
C F C
His mama always told him not to worship any idols
C G
Puttin' faith in man will almost always let you down
C F C
Drivin' cross the country, he was winnin' all the titles
C G C
Breakin' hearts along the way and livin' town to town
[Verse 3]
C F C
Out west of the Rockies, up in Northern California
C G
Through the ridin' and the ropin', a young lady caught his eye
C
She asked him, "Would you like to dance?"
F C
And he said, "I've gotta warn ya
C G C
I was born with two left feet, but I can give it my best try"
[Chorus]
Am E7
Nothin' good lasts forever
F G C
Doesn't mean you shouldn't try
C Am
They say it's better late than never
F G
Hell can wait until tomorrow
G C
He's got one more bull to ride
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
C F C
He pulled into a rodeo somewhere in Oklahoma
C G
Wind was blowin' strong and kicked the dust into his eyes
C F C
He walked into a field to smell the flowers' sweet aroma
C G C
Said a cowboy's prayer and then he looked up to the sky
[Verse 5]
C F C
They paired him with an angry bull whose name was El Diablo
C G
Tied the rope down tight and the gates swung open wide
C F C
He bucked him off the side, but his hand just wouldn't let go
C G C
The clowns all tried to save him as the crowd looked on in fright
[Chorus]
Am E7
Nothin' good lasts forever
F G C
Doesn't mean you shouldn't try
C Am
They say it's better late than never
F G
Hell can wait until tomorrow
G C
He's got one more bull to ride
[Interlude]

[Verse 6]
C F C
A somber wave of silence swept over the arena
C G
As Clayton lay there lyin' on the cold and dirty ground
SLOW
C F C
'Cause Clayton was a cowboy from Branson, Colorado
C G C
His ramblin' days are over, this old cowboy's homeward bound
