G
CWe held a fuGneral and a wake at the Diamondback Saloon
WitGh every old-time cowbEmoy agatheAm7red in oneC room D
SwapEmpin' tales and telClin' lies from dayGs when they were youCng
FearlGess buckaroEmos who always lAm7et the ponDies runG
I stiGll see us behind the chutes, stCandin' in the suGn
LighGt reflecting ofEmf the shiny Am7buckles thatC we'd won D
FarmiEmn' boys from eveCrywhere, just a rGopin' in our dreaCms
BuckGin' down the higEmhway in old tAm7rucks and fDaded jeanGs
Cheyenne Gdays to Fort Worth nights, we drove eCvery inch of road G
We ofGten spoke our dreamEms out loud, sharAm7ing rooms anCd dirty clothDes
The banEmdaged up, the brokCen ones, tooG tough to ever cryC
The oneG we won the big gEmo around, the dAm7rinks were oDurs to bGuy
Days weGre filled with mundCane chores thGat kept us lean and mean
But ourG nights were spentEm out dancin' Am7with the faCirest girls we'd Dseen
RegalingEm them with wild assC tales, that wereGn't that far fromC true
There wGasn't a singlEme favor askedAm7 that your oldD pal wouldn't dGo
GAnd every year the finals drCew us back tGo OKC
ShouldeGrs, Mahan, SteineEmr, Vol, TAm7-bone andC old DuffyD
And whenEm the dust had Csettled and the laGst go-round was ruCn
We stayeGd up all night sEminging songsAm7 'til everyD song was sunGg
The brokenG bones and broken hearts that lCed to broken homGes
And the Gtrails we rode togeEmther, nowAm7 we traveCl on aloneD
And the fEmriends we saw eaCch summer, nowG we hardly saw at Call
A little Gsomething's Embroken off eAm7ach time a Ccowboy fallsG
Well adioGs amigos, seeC you down the linGe
I sure eGnjoyed the bullsEmhit, cause Am7it brought bacCk some good tiDmes
And if yEmou see those palCs we knew from dGays when we were yoCung
Tell themG I stil sadEmdle up justAm7 to feel tDhe ponies rGun
