E
My old friend Jim
     B
Sure did it to him
C#m                                  A
Broke his heart and left him with no reason to live

You told him that you loved him
B
but you never did
        C#m                               A
When he found out it was too late to take back those things he said

Now he's living up in Birmingham
       B
At the edge of Santa Dee ()

And I never understand a single thing he says to me

Chorus:
E                         B
How many restless cowboys will you settle down
C#m                             A
How many broken hearts will you ride back into town
E                            B
How much barbed wire can one woman drag around

I remember that boy you dated

Late last fall

He could deal his hand
B
He could stand his ground

Now he's living in some halfway house out on the edge of town

        E
I still think of you sometimes
        B
When the moon is clear and still
C#m                        A
I guess that I love you, I guess I always will
        E
But you broke my heart like a hurricane
         B
Breaks a fence post at the ground
        C#m                     A
I don't rope and ride much now, I just hang around

Chorus:

How many broken hearts will you drive back into town
E                            B
How much barbed wire can one woman drag around
C#m                       A
How many restless cowboys will you settle down
