Well he’s a product that only America
A11GDCadd9Em7A11
Can create
GDCadd9Em7A11
He’s a free spirit highway cowboy
GDCadd9Em7A11
They used to crowd em all around the stage
GDCadd9Em7A11
Many women and miles lots of songs in the rain
GDCadd9Em7A11
All kinds of cool stories later
GDCadd9Em7A11
He sees a full head of grey and a few more lines
GDCadd9Em7A11
In the mirror
GDCadd9
Yeah he’s a veteran of the oilfield and the honky-tonks
Cadd9Em7A11GDCadd9Em7A11
Been tried and come out true
GDCadd9Em7A11
There ain’t much ever come his way easy
GDCadd9Em7A11
But he always did what he had to do
GDCadd9Em7A11
So he leans back in his front porch rockin chair
GDCadd9Em7A11
And kicks the day off
GDCadd9Em7A11
And with the daily news and two shots of bourbon
GDCadd9Em7A11
In his coffee cup
Cadd9D
Yeah he thinks about what’s round the bend up ahead
Cadd9D
In his path
Cadd9D
And he figures he better bring a pen
Cadd9D
To sign ol St Peters cowboy hat
GDCadd9Em7A11
Yeah well he’s gonna shake ol Waylon’s hand
GDCadd9Em7A11
And meet back stage with the band
GDCadd9Em7A11GDCadd9Em7A11
And sing to a billion new fans they been waitin on him
GDCadd9DG
Yeah he’s live tonight in the promised land
