[Verse 1]
D# G#
My buddy's old man is back on the booze,
A#
He's swinging a driver at a big bull moose,
D# G#
That keeps gettin' on the goddamn property,
A#
Or so he says.
D# G#
Cigarettes are expensive and whisky ain't cheap,
A#
Winters are bitter, but the summers are sweet,
D# G# A# D#
And you can get some honestly-priced smokes over at the rez,
D# G# A# A#sus2 A# D#
If you're so inclined.
[Verse 2]
D# G#
Most of my time's spent in a big blue van,
A#
Just travellin' the country with a five-piece band,
D# G#
Pick a little for the folks and sing when I can,
A# D#
Granted, I'm sober.
D# G#
And other days are meant for chorin',
A#
Just workin' at the ranch to stave off boredom,
D# G# A# D#
And keepin' the calves from finding new ways to keel over,
D# G# A# A#sus2 A# D# D#6 D#
Just livin' the dream.
[Verse 3]
D# G#
I was coolin' my heels down in Tennessee,
A#
Post ’82 some buddies and me,
D#
And we were shootin' the shit,
G# A# D#
Till we ran outta ammunition.
D# G#
Some dude overheard from across the room,
A#
And instead of mindin’ his own he just assumed,
D# G# A# D#
He'd sit down next us and join in on the conversation,
D# G# G#add2 G# Cadd2 C A# D#
Brought over some kinda beer, something called a IPA.
[Verse 4]
D# G#
He’s a Nashville kid in a cowboy hat,
A#
And he couldn’t tell a shoelace from a lariat,
D# G# A# D#
And the furthest west he’d ever been was Ohio.
D# G#
He’s talkin’ to me says he’s looking for work,
A#
And he didn’t mind gettin’ some dirt on his shirt,
D# G# A# D#
And would I be so kind as to hire him on, "well oh my oh",
D# G# A# A#sus2 A# D#
Surprised he didn’t bring a resume.
[Verse 5]
D# G#
He said but if you’re doin' fence, then I ain’t for hire,
A#
And if you’re doin' hay, then frankly I wouldn’t conspire,
A# D#
To ask me about doin' that either.
D# G#
I said “what are you good for?” and he said "Plenty",
A#
I could see this conversation wasn’t going any which way,
D#
And figured I’d do well just to leave here,
D# G# G#add2 G# G#add2 C Cadd2 C Cadd2 A# D#
So long buddy, keep your IPAs.
[Verse 6]
D# G#
Yeah, this city life has sure got me tired,
A#
And it’s hard for a prairie boy to admire,
D# G# A# D#
All the concrete and the towerin’ skyscrapers.
D# G#
So just as soon as I’m able to find my hat,
A#
I believe I’ll leave and head on back home,
A# D#
Where the tallest buildings are all grain elevators,
D# G# A# A#sus2 A# D#
Long gone to Saskatchewan.
[Verse 7]
D# G#
Yeah, I’m outta this place and bound for the farm,
A#
And I’m not takin' no greenhorn along,
D# G# A# D#
I have a hard enough time just keepin’ track of myself,
D# G#
But if you’re down in Nashville and tryin’ to look cool,
A#
But you can’t tell a pretty palomino from a mule,
D# G# A#7 D#
Take my advice and leave the buckaroo hat on the shelf.
[Outro]
D#
Heh, heh, heh.
