[Intro]
A E F#m D
[Verse 1]
A
Her hands wrapped up in mine
E
Tears rollin' out of her eyes
F#m
No messin' with a made-up mind
D
Sun settin' on goodbye
A E
Yeah, it's hard to believe
F#m D A/D
It wasn't me tryin' to leave this time
[Chorus]
A
It ain't always the cowboy
E
That ain't got a lot of hang around
F#m
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
D
Gone's just what they do
A
That restless running
E
Searching for something
F#m D
Leaving love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
A E D
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away
[Verse 2]
A
I've never seen over from this side
E
Never heard lonely get this quiet
F#m
Still, I can't keep from smiling
D
'Cause damn, that girl can fly
[Chorus]
A
It ain't always the cowboy

That ain't got a lot of hang around

F#m E
A tumbleweed heart chasin' that wind
D
Goin' too far, wherever that is
[Chorus]
A
It ain't always the cowboy
E
That ain't got a lot of hang around
F#m
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
D
Gone's just what they do

That restless running

Searching for something

Leaving love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet

It wasn't me tryin' to leave this time
It ain't always the cowboy
That ain't got a lot of hang around
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
Gone's just what they do
That restless, runnin', searchin' for somethin'
Leavin' love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away
I've never seen over from this side
Never heard lonely get this quiet
Still I can't keep from smilin'
'Cause damn that girl can fly
It ain't always the cowboy
That ain't got a lot of hang around
Ain't got no settle down in their boots

It ain't always the cowboy that rides away
A tumbleweed heart chasin' that wind
Goin' too far, wherever that is
It ain't always the cowboy
That ain't got a lot of hang around
Ain't got no settle down in their boots
Gone's just what they do
That restless, runnin', searchin' for somethin'
Leavin' love in the dust of a midnight Chevrolet
It ain't always the cowboy that rides away
Rides away
It ain't always the cowboy
