[Verse 1]
G C
My buddy's old man is back on the booze,
D
He's swinging a driver at a big bull moose,
G C
That keeps gettin' on the goddamn property,
D
Or so he says.
G C
Cigarettes are expensive and whisky ain't cheap,
D
Winters are bitter, but the summers are sweet,
G C D G
And you can get some honestly-priced smokes over at the rez,
G C D Dsus2 D G
If you're so inclined.
[Verse 2]
G C
Most of my time's spent in a big blue van,
D
Just travellin' the country with a five-piece band,
G C
Pick a little for the folks and sing when I can,
D G
Granted, I'm sober.
G C
And other days are meant for chorin',
D
Just workin' at the ranch to stave off boredom,
G C D G
And keepin' the calves from finding new ways to keel over,
G C D Dsus2 D G G6 G
Just livin' the dream.
[Verse 3]
G C
I was coolin' my heels down in Tennessee,
D
Post ’82 some buddies and me,
G
And we were shootin' the shit,
C D G
Till we ran outta ammunition.
G C
Some dude overheard from across the room,
D
And instead of mindin’ his own he just assumed,
G C D G
He'd sit down next us and join in on the conversation,
G C Cadd2 C Cadd2 C D G
Brought over some kinda beer, something called a IPA.
[Verse 4]
G C
He’s a Nashville kid in a cowboy hat,
D
And he couldn’t tell a shoelace from a lariat,
G C D G
And the furthest west he’d ever been was Ohio.
G C
He’s talkin’ to me says he’s looking for work,
D
And he didn’t mind gettin’ some dirt on his shirt,
G C D G
And would I be so kind as to hire him on, "well oh my oh",
G C D Dsus2 D G
Surprised he didn’t bring a resume.
[Verse 5]
G C
He said but if you’re doin' fence, then I ain’t for hire,
D
And if you’re doin' hay, then frankly I wouldn’t conspire,
D G
To ask me about doin' that either.
G C
I said “what are you good for?” and he said "Plenty",
D
I could see this conversation wasn’t going any which way,
G
And figured I’d do well just to leave here,
G C Cadd2 C Cadd2 C Cadd2 C Cadd2 D G
So long buddy, keep your IPAs.
[Verse 6]
G C
Yeah, this city life has sure got me tired,
D
And it’s hard for a prairie boy to admire,
G C D G
All the concrete and the towerin’ skyscrapers.
G C
So just as soon as I’m able to find my hat,
D
I believe I’ll leave and head on back home,
D G
Where the tallest buildings are all grain elevators,
G C D Dsus2 D G
Long gone to Saskatchewan.
[Verse 7]
G C
Yeah, I’m outta this place and bound for the farm,
D
And I’m not takin' no greenhorn along,
G C D G
I have a hard enough time just keepin’ track of myself,
G C
But if you’re down in Nashville and tryin’ to look cool,
D
But you can’t tell a pretty palomino from a mule,
G C D7 G
Take my advice and leave the buckaroo hat on the shelf.
[Outro]
G
Heh, heh, heh.
