E D E Esus2 E A
[Verse 1]
A D
My buddy's old man is back on the booze,
E
He's swinging a driver at a big bull moose,
A D
That keeps gettin' on the goddamn property,
E
Or so he says.
A D
Cigarettes are expensive and whisky ain't cheap,
E
Winters are bitter, but the summers are sweet,
A D E A
And you can get some honestly-priced smokes over at the rez,
A D E Esus2 E A
If you're so inclined.
[Verse 2]
A D
Most of my time's spent in a big blue van,
E
Just travellin' the country with a five-piece band,
A D
Pick a little for the folks and sing when I can,
E A
Granted, I'm sober.
A D
And other days are meant for chorin',
E
Just workin' at the ranch to stave off boredom,
A D E A
And keepin' the calves from finding new ways to keel over,
A D E Esus2 E A A6 A
Just livin' the dream.
[Verse 3]
A D
I was coolin' my heels down in Tennessee,
E
Post ’82 some buddies and me,
A
And we were shootin' the shit,
D E A
Till we ran outta ammunition.
A D
Some dude overheard from across the room,
E
And instead of mindin’ his own he just assumed,
A D E A
He'd sit down next us and join in on the conversation,
A D Dadd2 D Cadd2 C E A
Brought over some kinda beer, something called a IPA.
[Verse 4]
A D
He’s a Nashville kid in a cowboy hat,
E
And he couldn’t tell a shoelace from a lariat,
A D E A
And the furthest west he’d ever been was Ohio.
A D
He’s talkin’ to me says he’s looking for work,
E
And he didn’t mind gettin’ some dirt on his shirt,
A D E A
And would I be so kind as to hire him on, "well oh my oh",
A D E Esus2 E A
Surprised he didn’t bring a resume.
[Verse 5]
A D
He said but if you’re doin' fence, then I ain’t for hire,
E
And if you’re doin' hay, then frankly I wouldn’t conspire,
E A
To ask me about doin' that either.
A D
I said “what are you good for?” and he said "Plenty",
E
I could see this conversation wasn’t going any which way,
A
And figured I’d do well just to leave here,
A D Dadd2 D Dadd2 C Cadd2 C Cadd2 E A
So long buddy, keep your IPAs.
[Verse 6]
A D
Yeah, this city life has sure got me tired,
E
And it’s hard for a prairie boy to admire,
A D E A
All the concrete and the towerin’ skyscrapers.
A D
So just as soon as I’m able to find my hat,
E
I believe I’ll leave and head on back home,
E A
Where the tallest buildings are all grain elevators,
A D E Esus2 E A
Long gone to Saskatchewan.
[Verse 7]
A D
Yeah, I’m outta this place and bound for the farm,
E
And I’m not takin' no greenhorn along,
A D E A
I have a hard enough time just keepin’ track of myself,
A D
But if you’re down in Nashville and tryin’ to look cool,
E
But you can’t tell a pretty palomino from a mule,
A D E7 A
Take my advice and leave the buckaroo hat on the shelf.
[Outro]
A
Heh, heh, heh.
