D Bm G D

He got busted up bad up in Lubbock; he was taking the greyhound back home

Bm A G Bm A G

Though the fire in his eye never flickered, he knew the best of his good days were gone

D Bm G D

His said I been thinking a lot ‘bout retiring, but the rodeo life’s all I know

Bm A G Bm A G

And I don’t know what to do with the rest, I’m too burnt out to go on

Chorus:

D A Bm G

He said scatter the ashes over the road

Bm G

then let a strong wind blow

D A Bm G

When I can’t walk away, it’s my time to go

He said son my road map to heaven sometimes leads me out of the way

Through those rodeo towns, and those drunken old sun downs, someday to an early grave

He pulled his saddle up over his shoulder and said before you throw dirt on my bones

Hey tell me what do you do with a broken old cowboy who spent his whole life being thrown

Chorus

Fade out
