My old man is another child that's grown old
DGDG
If dreams were lightning and thunder desire
DGAD
This old house would've burnt down a long time ago

Make me a poster of an old rodeo
DCGD
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
DCGD
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
VerseDGDG
When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy

But that was a long time, and no matter how I try
DGAD
These dreams go back like a broken-down dam
Repeat Chorus:
Solo: Like the Verses

There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear them a-buzzin'

Come home in the evenin', they got nothin' to say

DCGD
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
