KEY OF C ¾ TIME
TEMPO 145
I’M JUST AN OLD COWBOY
WHO KNOWS WHEN IT’S TIME TO GET ALONG
I’VE SEEN ALL THE GOOD TIMES, THE BAD
AND THE YEARS JUST PASS ALONG
I’VE SEEN THE RODEO’S COME TO TOWM
AND I’VE RIDDEN MY SHARE LORD, I KNOW
BUT THIS ONES THE LAST
CAUSE THIS COWBOY’S GETTING’ TO OLD
CHORUS
I’LL STAND BY THE CHUTES
AND WATCH THE YOUNG COWBOY’S
AS THE LIVESTOCK GET RODE
I’LL THINK OF OLD MEMORIES AND ALL THE RODEO’S
AND SADDLES OF SILVER AND GOLD
BUT DEEP IN MY MIND
AND DEEP IN MY HEART
THIS ONES THE LAST ONE I KNOW
CAUSE THIS COWBOY’S GETIN’ TO OLD
TO OLD TO RIDE RODEO
KEY CHANGE TO D
AT GATE NUMBER ONE
I’VE DRAWN ME AN GOOD MOUNT I KNOW
IT WAS OVER IN A MOMENT
AND I KNEW THE OL’ BOY HAD REACHED HIS GOAL
AS I PICKED MYSELF UP
HE SHOOK HIS HEAD, TO SAY
I OWED YOU THAT ONE
BUT I’LL GET ‘EM NEXT YEAR AND SHOW ‘EM ALL
THIS COWBOY AIN’T GETIN’ TO OLD
KEY CHANGE TO C
CHORUS
I’LL STAND BY THE CHUTES
AND WATCH THE YOUNG COWBOY’S
AS THE LIVESTOCK GET RODE
I’LL THINK OF OLD MEMORIES AND ALL THE RODEO’S
AND SADDLES OF SILVER AND GOLD
BUT DEEP IN MY MIND
AND DEEP IN MY HEART
THIS ONES THE LAST ONE I KNOW
CAUSE THIS COWBOY’S GETIN’ TO OLD
TO OLD TO RIDE RODEO
YEAH THIS COWBOY’S GETIN’ TO OLD
TO OLD TO RIDE RODEO
