These Cowboys
By Gretchen Peters and Tom Russell
Written Tom Dundee

D G
He's a cowboy, he was raised in Ohio
A D
He got married and moved further west
D G
Showed up on time for a few awful years
A D
And one night he got drunk and he left
G
Drove a truck for a while up in Fargo
A D
But he never got used to the smoke
D G
He once tried to settle and get some work
A D
But he's still just as wild, just as broke
Chorus
A D
The range has been settled for years now
E7 A
The old wranglers past on with their kind
D G
But every now and then, you run into these men
A D
These cowboys born out of their time
For some change he'll remember your birth place
Cause there's hardly a town he ain't been
You can get up and leave anytime that you please
That's one thing that he understands
Chorus
Instrumental break
He lives out his years out in Denver
His best friend is a bottle of wine
And you don't need to ask anything of his past
It's asleep in the back of his mind
As the sun rises over the Rockies
So strange that he don't even care
When it burns out and sets down in Kansas
He takes the fences around Larimor Square
Chorus
