[Verse 1]
      G                  G7
Hurry up and hang up the phone
        C                         Am
I ain't shackled by the chains of hope
D7
Life here's more important
     C                              G    C G
Than any of your stories about your life
 
[Verse 2]
       G                       G7
Take a long long drink and sit back
       C                   Am
I gave up on that railroad track
    D7
And started in on a life of worry
C                                                     G   C G
Talking and running in a hurry and just trying to get by
 
[Chorus]
              D7
And there's a house that sits on a hill
          C
Where the sun and the sky stand still
        D7
And the longhorn cattle oh
    C                                         G    C G
And you ain't got no foe but the wind and the rain

[Verse 3]
          G                 G7
Hey there bossman, I am for hire
         C                 Am
And I'll do anything you desire
       D7
Now we all know that a woman can't do ride
    C                                               G     C G
She ain't got the guts to fight sitting pretty in a chair
 
[Verse 4]
      G                   G7
Hurry up and lace up your boots
        C                 Am
And get out of this motel room
              D7
There will be time enough for loving
C                                            G    C G
Someone new and more becoming in your next affair
 
[Chorus]
              D7
And there's a house that sits on a hill
          C
Where the sun and the sky stand still
        D7
And the longhorn cattle oh
    C                                         G    C G
And you ain't got no foe but the wind and the rain
