♫ Verse 1:
C                        G
Pack up your old guitar, cowboy
F                         C
Roll up your old sleeping bag
F                    C      Am
It’s time you got to moving
      C                        G
Cause your life is starting to drag
    C                         G
You ain’t leaving nothing but faces
    F                          C
The same stars’ll watch you at night
     F                      C       Am
That same old lonesome will own you
    C            G            C
And you’ve grown too tired to fight

♫ Chorus:
       F
You’re one child’s father
 C
Another man’s son
F                     C
One woman’s candle of light
F              C      Am
Too far into tomorrow
    D                 G
For loving somebody tonight
       F                   C
You’re too many miles from home now
F                        C
Gambling with nothing to lose
  F                   C      Am
A side-street hobo in rodeo clothes
C              G           C
Cowboy, you’re just riding through

♫ Verse 2:
C                            G
Pull on your old blue jeans, cowboy
F                     C
Put on your old dusty hat
F                  C        Am
Sunup caught you a-sleeping
C                   G
Gambling busted you flat
C                        G
Whiskey, it caught you a-drinking
    F                            C
The rain and the wind caught you cold
F                 C      Am
Loving cost you a memory
        C      G              C
And the devil, he caught your soul

♫ Chorus:
       F
You’re one child’s father
 C
Another man’s son
F                     C
One woman’s candle of light
F              C      Am
Too far into tomorrow
    D                 G
For loving somebody tonight
       F                   C
You’re too many miles from home now
F                        C
Gambling with nothing to lose
  F                   C     Am
A side-street hobo in rodeo clothes
C              G           C       Am
Cowboy, you’re just riding through
C              G           C
Cowboy, you’re just riding through
