[Verse 1]
C F
My buddy's old man is back on the booze,
G
He's swinging a driver at a big bull moose,
C F
That keeps gettin' on the goddamn property,
G
Or so he says.
C F
Cigarettes are expensive and whisky ain't cheap,
G
Winters are bitter, but the summers are sweet,
C F G C
And you can get some honestly-priced smokes over at the rez,
C F G Gsus2 G C
If you're so inclined.
[Verse 2]
C F
Most of my time's spent in a big blue van,
G
Just travellin' the country with a five-piece band,
C F
Pick a little for the folks and sing when I can,
G C
Granted, I'm sober.
C F
And other days are meant for chorin',
G
Just workin' at the ranch to stave off boredom,
C F G C
And keepin' the calves from finding new ways to keel over,
C F G Gsus2 G C C6 C
Just livin' the dream.
[Verse 3]
C F
I was coolin' my heels down in Tennessee,
G
Post ’82 some buddies and me,
C
And we were shootin' the shit,
F G C
Till we ran outta ammunition.
C F
Some dude overheard from across the room,
G
And instead of mindin’ his own he just assumed,
C F G C
He'd sit down next us and join in on the conversation,
C F Fadd2 F Cadd2 C G C
Brought over some kinda beer, something called a IPA.
[Verse 4]
C F
He’s a Nashville kid in a cowboy hat,
G
And he couldn’t tell a shoelace from a lariat,
C F G C
And the furthest west he’d ever been was Ohio.
C F
He’s talkin’ to me says he’s looking for work,
G
And he didn’t mind gettin’ some dirt on his shirt,
C F G C
And would I be so kind as to hire him on, "well oh my oh",
C F G Gsus2 G C
Surprised he didn’t bring a resume.
[Verse 5]
C F
He said but if you’re doin' fence, then I ain’t for hire,
G
And if you’re doin' hay, then frankly I wouldn’t conspire,
G C
To ask me about doin' that either.
C F
I said “what are you good for?” and he said "Plenty",
G
I could see this conversation wasn’t going any which way,
C
And figured I’d do well just to leave here,
C F Fadd2 F Fadd2 C Cadd2 C Cadd2 G C
So long buddy, keep your IPAs.
[Verse 6]
C F
Yeah, this city life has sure got me tired,
G
And it’s hard for a prairie boy to admire,
C F G C
All the concrete and the towerin’ skyscrapers.
C F
So just as soon as I’m able to find my hat,
G
I believe I’ll leave and head on back home,
G C
Where the tallest buildings are all grain elevators,
C F G Gsus2 G C
Long gone to Saskatchewan.
[Verse 7]
C F
Yeah, I’m outta this place and bound for the farm,
G
And I’m not takin' no greenhorn along,
C F G C
I have a hard enough time just keepin’ track of myself,
C F
But if you’re down in Nashville and tryin’ to look cool,
G
But you can’t tell a pretty palomino from a mule,
C F G7 C
Take my advice and leave the buckaroo hat on the shelf.
[Outro]
C
Heh, heh, heh.
