In 1955, born into Wadena's pride

Milligan creek bed

When I was a young man

I helped build these land
E MajorE              A minorAm
I laid down these rails as a CPR man

A minorAm
Thought I'd live forever
FF          C majorC
With my heart in my pocket
    E MajorE
Oh, my gun by my side
    A minorAm
And my feelings in a locket

A minorAm             FF     C majorC
Well, that was a cold year in Seventyseven

We had 2 kids
A minorAm
I gave her a daughter
FF       C majorC
She gave me a son
    E MajorE           A minorAm
And we rode those damn horses until we had none

A minorAm
Fists still like flyin'
FF        C majorC
Doing things for dyin'
   E MajorE              A minorAm
Oh I should have put that old gun away

Chorus:
  FF  G+G        A minorAm
But I, I am me, a broken cowboy

'Cause I am a broken cowboy

A minorAm
Livin' life in the fast lane
FF        C majorC
Racing cars and robbing trains
 E MajorE
I thought I had it all
A minorAm
Then one day I got the call
A minorAm
A augmentedA father's worst dream
FF      C majorC    E MajorE
My son went down and I

A minorAm
The colours deceive me
FF    C majorC
As I see grey
     E MajorE
Oh you're cutting me down with those
A minorAm
Cold words you're saying
A minorAm
Then you called me brother
FF         C majorC       E MajorE
But this can't be so 'cause you slander my name
A minorAm             FF E MajorE A minorAm
Anywhere the wind will blow

All on my own
A minorAm
Well it's real quiet here
FF       C majorC
Just the way I like it here

There's no one to bother me
    A minorAm
Except that old taunting tree
