[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# D#sus2 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# D#sus2 D# G# G#6 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# C#add2 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# D#sus2 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# C#add2 C# C#add2 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# D#sus2 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# D#7 G#
Take my advice and leave the buckaroo hat on the shelf.
[Outro]
G#
Heh, heh, heh.
