[Verse 1]
B E
My buddy's old man is back on the booze,
F#
He's swinging a driver at a big bull moose,
B E
That keeps gettin' on the goddamn property,
F#
Or so he says.
B E
Cigarettes are expensive and whisky ain't cheap,
F#
Winters are bitter, but the summers are sweet,
B E F# B
And you can get some honestly-priced smokes over at the rez,
B E F# F#sus2 F# B
If you're so inclined.
[Verse 2]
B E
Most of my time's spent in a big blue van,
F#
Just travellin' the country with a five-piece band,
B E
Pick a little for the folks and sing when I can,
F# B
Granted, I'm sober.
B E
And other days are meant for chorin',
F#
Just workin' at the ranch to stave off boredom,
B E F# B
And keepin' the calves from finding new ways to keel over,
B E F# F#sus2 F# B B6 B
Just livin' the dream.
[Verse 3]
B E
I was coolin' my heels down in Tennessee,
F#
Post ’82 some buddies and me,
B
And we were shootin' the shit,
E F# B
Till we ran outta ammunition.
B E
Some dude overheard from across the room,
F#
And instead of mindin’ his own he just assumed,
B E F# B
He'd sit down next us and join in on the conversation,
B E Eadd2 E Cadd2 C F# B
Brought over some kinda beer, something called a IPA.
[Verse 4]
B E
He’s a Nashville kid in a cowboy hat,
F#
And he couldn’t tell a shoelace from a lariat,
B E F# B
And the furthest west he’d ever been was Ohio.
B E
He’s talkin’ to me says he’s looking for work,
F#
And he didn’t mind gettin’ some dirt on his shirt,
B E F# B
And would I be so kind as to hire him on, "well oh my oh",
B E F# F#sus2 F# B
Surprised he didn’t bring a resume.
[Verse 5]
B E
He said but if you’re doin' fence, then I ain’t for hire,
F#
And if you’re doin' hay, then frankly I wouldn’t conspire,
F# B
To ask me about doin' that either.
B E
I said “what are you good for?” and he said "Plenty",
F#
I could see this conversation wasn’t going any which way,
B
And figured I’d do well just to leave here,
B E Eadd2 E Eadd2 C Cadd2 C Cadd2 F# B
So long buddy, keep your IPAs.
[Verse 6]
B E
Yeah, this city life has sure got me tired,
F#
And it’s hard for a prairie boy to admire,
B E F# B
All the concrete and the towerin’ skyscrapers.
B E
So just as soon as I’m able to find my hat,
F#
I believe I’ll leave and head on back home,
F# B
Where the tallest buildings are all grain elevators,
B E F# F#sus2 F# B
Long gone to Saskatchewan.
[Verse 7]
B E
Yeah, I’m outta this place and bound for the farm,
F#
And I’m not takin' no greenhorn along,
B E F# B
I have a hard enough time just keepin’ track of myself,
B E
But if you’re down in Nashville and tryin’ to look cool,
F#
But you can’t tell a pretty palomino from a mule,
B E F#7 B
Take my advice and leave the buckaroo hat on the shelf.
[Outro]
B
Heh, heh, heh.
