Cadd9
He takes off his hat
G#
Says "The world moves too fast

No, it sure ain't how it used to be"

There's lines on his face
G#
His hands shake with age
Fadd13 Cadd9
Oh, but he's still a mountain to me
πΈ Chorus:
A#m
Just like fine wine and leather

The more that he's weathered and worn

No, they don't make

And boots for church

He had a stubborn side

We call Texas pride
Fadd13 Cadd9
Taught me you're only as good as your word

Been thrown from the saddle

No, they don't make

Cowboys like that anymore, oh

Swingin' doors

And a gambler that ain't gonna quit
Cadd9
And with everything I am

I'll do the best that I can
Fadd13 Cadd9
Just trying to live up to him
