Verse
C# A#m F# G# C#
I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be,
D# F# C# G#
But a cowboy's life was the only life for me.
C# A#m F# G# C#
It's a strong man's occupation ridin' herd and livin' free,
A#m D#
But strong men often fail
A#m D#
Where shrewd men can prevail,
F# D#m G#
I'm an old man now with nothin' left to say,
F# D#m G# C#
But oh god how I worked my youth away.
[Verse 2]
A#m F# G# C#
Well you may not recognize my face, I used to be a star,
D# F# C# G#
D# cowboy hero known both near and far.
C# A#m F# G# C#
I perched upon a silver mount and sang with my guitar,
A#m D# A#m D#
But the studio of course, owned my saddle and my horse,
F# D#m G#
But that six-gun on the wall belongs to me,
F# D#m G# C#
Oh god I can't live a memory.
[Verse 3]
C# A#m F# G# C#
You know I'd like to put my finger on that trigger once again,
D# F# C# G#
And point that gun at all the prideful men.
C# A#m F# G# C#
All the voyeurs and the lawyers who can pull a fountain pen,
A#m D#
And put you where they choose,
A#m D#
With the language that they use,
F# D#m G#
And enslave you till you work your youth away,
F# D#m F# G#
Oh god how I worked my youth away.
[Bridge]
C# A#m C# G#
Whoopee ty yioh whoopee ty yi ay,
C# A#m D# G#
One man's work is another man's play
F# D#m G# C#
Oh god how I worked my youth away.
[Verse 4]
C# A#m F# G# C#
You see I always liked the notion of a cowboy fighting crime,
D# F# C# G#
This photograph was taken in my prime,
C# A#m F# G# C#
I could beat those desperados but there's no sense fightin' time,
A#m D#
But the singin' was a ball
A#m D#
Cause I’m not musical at all,
F# D#m G#
I moved my lips to someone else's voice.
[Interlude]
C# A#m F# G# C# D# F# C# G#
[verse 1 repeat]
C# A#m F# G# C#
I coulda been most anything I put my mind to be,
D# F# C# G#
But a cowboy's life was the only life for me.
C# A#m F# G# C#
It's a strong man's occupation ridin' herd and livin' free,
A#m D#
But strong men often fail
A#m D#
Where shrewd men can prevail,
F# D#m G#
I'm an old man now with nothin' left to say,
F# D#m G# C#
But oh god how I worked my youth away.
