I've got two strong hands to rope the load
A augmentedA
I've got dust and grit from head to toe
A augmentedA
I may not look such a pretty sight
A augmentedA

A augmentedA
Big bench seat and a radio
A augmentedA E MajorE
She gets me anywhere that I wanna go
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
Well I'm not the kind who likes to boast
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
But I've got all the things that matter most
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
And the more you have, the more you've got to lose
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
The bare essentials get you through
A augmentedA
Got an old stray dog's seen better days
A augmentedA

E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
I'm not the kind who like to boast
