[Verse 1]
F# B
My buddy's old man is back on the booze,
C#
He's swinging a driver at a big bull moose,
F# B
That keeps gettin' on the goddamn property,
C#
Or so he says.
F# B
Cigarettes are expensive and whisky ain't cheap,
C#
Winters are bitter, but the summers are sweet,
F# B C# F#
And you can get some honestly-priced smokes over at the rez,
F# B C# C#sus2 C# F#
If you're so inclined.
[Verse 2]
F# B
Most of my time's spent in a big blue van,
C#
Just travellin' the country with a five-piece band,
F# B
Pick a little for the folks and sing when I can,
C# F#
Granted, I'm sober.
F# B
And other days are meant for chorin',
C#
Just workin' at the ranch to stave off boredom,
F# B C# F#
And keepin' the calves from finding new ways to keel over,
F# B C# C#sus2 C# F# F#6 F#
Just livin' the dream.
[Verse 3]
F# B
I was coolin' my heels down in Tennessee,
C#
Post ’82 some buddies and me,
F#
And we were shootin' the shit,
B C# F#
Till we ran outta ammunition.
F# B
Some dude overheard from across the room,
C#
And instead of mindin’ his own he just assumed,
F# B C# F#
He'd sit down next us and join in on the conversation,
F# B Badd2 B Cadd2 C C# F#
Brought over some kinda beer, something called a IPA.
[Verse 4]
F# B
He’s a Nashville kid in a cowboy hat,
C#
And he couldn’t tell a shoelace from a lariat,
F# B C# F#
And the furthest west he’d ever been was Ohio.
F# B
He’s talkin’ to me says he’s looking for work,
C#
And he didn’t mind gettin’ some dirt on his shirt,
F# B C# F#
And would I be so kind as to hire him on, "well oh my oh",
F# B C# C#sus2 C# F#
Surprised he didn’t bring a resume.
[Verse 5]
F# B
He said but if you’re doin' fence, then I ain’t for hire,
C#
And if you’re doin' hay, then frankly I wouldn’t conspire,
C# F#
To ask me about doin' that either.
F# B
I said “what are you good for?” and he said "Plenty",
C#
I could see this conversation wasn’t going any which way,
F#
And figured I’d do well just to leave here,
F# B Badd2 B Badd2 C Cadd2 C Cadd2 C# F#
So long buddy, keep your IPAs.
[Verse 6]
F# B
Yeah, this city life has sure got me tired,
C#
And it’s hard for a prairie boy to admire,
F# B C# F#
All the concrete and the towerin’ skyscrapers.
F# B
So just as soon as I’m able to find my hat,
C#
I believe I’ll leave and head on back home,
C# F#
Where the tallest buildings are all grain elevators,
F# B C# C#sus2 C# F#
Long gone to Saskatchewan.
[Verse 7]
F# B
Yeah, I’m outta this place and bound for the farm,
C#
And I’m not takin' no greenhorn along,
F# B C# F#
I have a hard enough time just keepin’ track of myself,
F# B
But if you’re down in Nashville and tryin’ to look cool,
C#
But you can’t tell a pretty palomino from a mule,
F# B C#7 F#
Take my advice and leave the buckaroo hat on the shelf.
[Outro]
F#
Heh, heh, heh.
