G                     D               Em 
DOWN A ONE LANE ROAD, THERE?S A DUSTY FAIRGROUND 
C                   G            D         G 
WHERE I LEARNED THE BRONC TRADE, I FELL IN LOVE 
G                        D              Em 
WITH A BLUE EYED TWISTER AND HER SMOKEY WHISPER 
C             G       D            G 
SHE SAID THEY CALL ME THE CIMMARON DOVE 
 
WE?D SPOOL OUR BEDROLLS ON DOWN TOGETHER 
MY CALLOUSED HANDS COMBS THRU HER HAIR 
SHE?D STARE AT A STAR THRU AN OLD MESQUITE TREE 
?SEE THAT MOON SHADOW, THERE?S A BUCKING HORSE THERE? 
 
CHORUS 
G             Am7            G 
SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH, NO EASY KEEPER 
G               Am7              D 
FLOWN WITH THE SEASONS, ALL TOO SOON 
C                           G 
BENEATH MONTANA?S BLUE ROAN SKY, 
G        Am               C            G 
NEVADA?S STARLIGHT AND A BUCKING HORSE MOON 
 
OUR LOVE REELED OUT LIKE A WESTERN MOVIE 
DOWN HARD WORN HIGHWAYS, THRU THE RODEO TOWNS 
WRAPPED IN HER WINGS, FOR THE MIDNIGHT FLYING 
THAT BUCKING HORSE MOON KEPT SHINING DOWN 
 
BUCKING HORSE MOON ON THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK 
SHE?D SMILE AND SAY ?THAT MEANS GOOD LUCK? 
BUCKING HORSE SHADOW, THRU THE PURPLE SAGE 
WE?LL RIDE FOREVER, OUR LOVE WON?T AGE 
 
BUT HEART AND BONES ARE MAKE FOR BREAKING 
THE CIMMARON DOVE?S FLOWN WITH THE WIND 
THEN A BRONC IN PRESCOTT, ROLLED ON MY BACK 
I?LL NEVER RIDE ROUGH STOCK AGAIN 
 
CHORUS 
 
I LOST MY YOUTH ON THE DUSTY FAIRGROUNDS 
I?M AN OLD BRONC FIGHTER, LONG PAST HIGH NOON 
BUT ON A HAUNTED NIGHT WIND, I CAN HEAR HER WHISPERIN 
AS I SEARCH THE HEAVENS, FOR THE BUCKING HORSE MOON 
THE CIMMARON DOVE AND THE BUCKING HORSE MOON 
 
CHORUS 
 
WYOMING SUNDOWN AND A BUCKING HORSE MOON.
