D G D
Just a broken down cowboy all down on his luck
G D
Been through the best of his friends
D G D
On a long lonesome highway in an old pick-up truck
G A D
Cross Texas like a hot dusty wind
D G D
He was All Around Cowboy back in forty-nine
G D
>From the top it's been a long way down
D G D
Since the whiskey and the women started winning his time
G A D
They rode him high and hard to the ground
G D
He remembers the thrill of being a winner
G D
and the days of his first rodeo
G D
There's something 'bout winnin' that don't last forever
G D
Maybe tomorrow things will get better
Em A
If the devil lets loose of his soul
D
He'll be the All Around Cowboy again
D G D
So he rolls up a smoke and he sips his Old Crow
G D
Wipes the whiskers that cover his chin
G D
And he grins as he dreams of old rodeos
G A D
He's the All Around Cowboy again
G D
He remembers the thrill of being a winner
G D
and the days of his first rodeo
G D
There's something 'bout winnin' that don't last forever
G D
Maybe tomorrow things will get better
Em A
If the devil lets loose of his soul
D
He'll be the All Around Cowboy again
