^CAin't it like they always say ^DEverybody goes their own way ^GNobody knows, no one can ^Ctell ^GIt's always been the same for me ^CGuess it's just the way it must be ^GHeadin' ^Ddown that dusty ^Ctrail

^GWhen I was a young man ^CThe only things that got me goin' were ^GGettin' ^Emhigh and chasin' ^Clove ^GLyin' down beside my girl ^COn the banks of the river ^GWith nothing but some mustang wine And ^Call the ^Dstars ^Gabove
