Rodeo Town

[Verse 1]
C                              F                     C          F                 C               G
She met him on the front porch before he could come in, before he could come and love on her and leave again,
         C                  F              C       F               C               F     G    C
She was sad but resolute convicted in her truth, sure as the sun sets to rise a cowboys gonna ride
C                         F                 C           F             C                 G
It didn't last a minute, he never tried to kiss her, never tried to touch her face or bend her ear
           C                          F                   C               F          C          F G      C
He just climbed in his truck, she felt it when he looked up, but it was gone as fast as he said adios my dear
 
 
[Chorus]
              Am    G          F    C                                              G
That's how it goes down in a rodeo town, a young man's way to try and tame the wildness he's drawn
           Am  G              F                C                                     F    G   C
He don't know now but he'll sure as hell find out, all that he was holdin' on will someday all be gone
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                     F                      C          F                C                 G
A man's got no choice, he's got that little voice that nags him on and tells him still to try
C                               F              C                  F      C              F      G       C
You can deal with it, hell and you might even kill it, but it's awfully persistent and mighty slow to die
C                                        F              C        F          C           G
Cause when your life's in a bag and the tools of your trade are leather, rawhide, and handmade
C                              F                  C             F              C       F      G        C
You don't give much thought to all the hell you wrought to the one up in the stands cheering out your name
 
 
[Chorus]
             Am    G          F    C                                              G
That's how it goes down in a rodeo town, a young man's way to try and tame the wildness he's drawn
           Am  G             F                C                                     F      G   C
He don't know now but he'll sure as hell find out, all that he was holdin on will someday all be gone
 
 
[Verse 3]
C                          F             C      F            C                   G
She loaded up her stuff, fueled up her truck, turned in her key and checked the map
  C                                     F             C
To herself she wouldn't lie, it wasn't all a waste of time,
        F             C               F       G        C
It was beautiful and wild and it was both at the same time,
 
 
[Chorus]
               Am   G         F     C                                   G
That's how it goes down in a rodeo town, Don't ask me how I know, but I do
           Am  G    F               C                                        F     G       C
I didn't know then all that I know now, but all that I was living for will someday all be through
