Chris Ledoux - Them bareback horses

^CThem bareback horses are the only thing They ^Fmake your back hurt they make your bell ring They're ^G7hard on tailbones and they make your neck sore But when it's all over you're craving some ^Cmore

You ^Fstop in some town you wonder where in the hell you are You ^G7get yourself a road map and head out once again With only enough for fees so you'd damn sure better ^Cwin You ^Ffinally make the pitchin' with your ^Centry fees all paid You get ^G7on another snatcher and he ^Cflings you away So you ^Chead to town broken hearted ^Flookin' for a chance To ^G7get a little drunk and find some girl and ^Cdance

Well you meet a little girl at the ^Fbar all alone You ^G7whoop some words on her to get her to take you ^Chome But she's got a big boyfriend who ^Fjust came from the can And he says ^G7move on there buddy cause he's her lovin' ^Cman So you c^Flimb back in your car after your ^Clittle bitty fight You're ^G7drunk and broken hearted And it's ^Ctwelve o'clock at night And you ain't got a dime in your ^Fold blue jeans But ^G7by god you got a half a tank of gas And a can of pork and ^Cbeans

^FYou write a hot check to pay your fees once again You ^G7got yourself a good one so you ought to ^Cwin The horse is standin' in the chute ^Fthen he bucks around The ^G7whistle blows then you're standin' on the ^Cground The ^Fjudges total their markings and they ^Ctally up the score And you're ^G7beatin' everybody by at ^Cleast ten points or more So you climb back in your car with a ^Fpocket full of cash A good ^G7feelin' in your heart and a tank full of ^Cgas

But boys the day finally comes when you get ^Fold and grey You ^G7gotta hang your spurs up and put your ^Criggin' away You look back now with a ^Fwantin' eye But ^G7brother it's all gone so you sit and ^Ccry
