Lyrics

I (F)don’t know why I (Gm7)act the way I (Fsus2)do,

like (F)I ain’t got a (C7)sin gle thing to lose.

Some (F)times I’m my (Gm7)own worst en e (Fsus2)my.

I (F)guess that’s just the (C7)cow boy in (Fsus2)me.

I (F)got a life that (Gm7)most would love to (Fsus2)have,

but (F)some times I still (C7)wake up fight in’ mad

at (F)where this road I’m (Gm7)head in’ down might (F)lead.

I (F)guess that’s just the (C7)cow boy in (F)me.

The urge to run, the (Bb)rest less ness, the (F)heart of stone I (Bb)some times get.

The (F)things I’ve done for (Bb)fool ish pride, the (C)me that’s nev er sat is fied.

The (F)face that’s in the (Bb)mir ror when I (F)don’t like what I (Bb)see.

I (F)guess that’s just the (C7)cow boy in (F)me.

The urge to run, the (F)me.

(F)Girl, I know there’s (Gm7)times you must have (Fsus2)thought

there (F)ain’t a line you’ve (C7)drawn I have n’t (Fsus2)crossed.

But you (F)set your mind to (Gm7)see this love on (F)through.

I (F)guess that’s just the (C7)cow boy in (F)you.

(F)We ride and nev er (Gm7)wor ry ’bout the (Fsus2)fall.

I (F)guess that’s just the (C7)cow boy in us (F)all.

I (F)guess that’s just the (C7)cow boy in us (F)all.
