    • Verse 1
    Jerry 
    Jeff 
    Walker 


    We 
    held 
    a funeral 
    and 
    a wake at 
    Verse 2
    the 

    Diamondback Saloon 

    With every 
    old-time cowboy 
    agathered 

    in one 
    room 

    Swappin' 
    tales 
    and 
    tellin' lies 
    from 

    days 
    when they were 
    young

    Fearless 
    buckaroos who 
    always 

    let 
    the ponies 
    run 

    I still 
    see us 
    Verse 3
    behind 
    the chutes, 

    standin' 
    in the 
    sun

    Light reflecting 
    off 
    the shiny 

    buckles 
    that we'd 
    won 

    Farmin' 
    boys from 
    everywhere, 

    just 
    a 
    ropin' 
    in our 
    dreams 

    Buckin' 
    down 
    the 
    highway 
    in old 
    trucks 

    and 
    faded 
    jeans 

    Verse 4
    Cheyenne 
    days to 
    Fort Worth 

    nights, we drove 
    every 
    inch 
    of 
    road 

    We often 
    spoke our 
    dreams 
    out loud, sharing 

    rooms 
    and 
    dirty 
    clothes 

    The 
    bandaged 
    up, the 
    broken 
    ones, 

    too 
    tough 
    to ever 
    cry 

    The 
    one we 
    won the 
    big go 
    around, 

    the 
    drinks 
    were ours 
    to 
    buy 

    Days 
    were filled with 
    mundane 
    chores that 
    Verse 5

    kept 
    us lean and 
    mean 

    But 
    our nights 
    were spent out 
    dancin' 

    with 
    the 
    fairest 
    girls we'd 
    seen 

    Re
    galing 
    them with 
    wild 
    ass tales, 

    that 
    weren't that 
    far from 
    true 

    There 
    wasn't 
    a 
    single 
    fa
    vor 
    asked that 

    your old pal 
    wouldn't do 

    Verse 6
    And every 
    year 
    the finals 
    drew us 

    back to 
    OKC 

    Shoulders, 
    Mahan, 
    Steiner, 

    Vol, T-bone 
    an
    d and 
    old Duffy 

    And 
    when the 
    dust had 
    settled 
    and 

    the 
    last go-round 
    was was 
    run 

    We 
    stayed up 
    all night 
    singing 
    songs 

    'til every 
    song was 
    sung 

    Verse 7
    The broken 
    bones 
    and broken 
    hearts 

    that 
    led 
    to broken homes 

    And 
    the trails 
    we rode 
    together, 

    now we 
    travel 
    on alone 

    And 
    the 
    friends 
    we saw 
    each 
    summer, 

    now 
    we 
    hardly 
    saw 
    at 
    all 

    A 
    little 
    something's 
    broken 
    off 
    each 
    time 
    a 

    cowboy 
    falls 

    Verse 8

    Well adios 
    amigos, 
    see 
    you down the 
    line 

    I sure 
    enjoyed 
    the bullshit, 

    cause it 
    brought back 
    some good 
    times 

    And if you 
    see those 
    pals 
    we knew from 

    days 
    when we were 
    young 

    Tell them 
    I stil 
    saddle 
    up just 

    to 
    feel 
    the ponies 
    run

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
