D 
A 
My old friend Jim sure did it to him.
Bm 
He broke his heart
G 
and left him with no reason to live.
D 
You told him that you loved him,
A 
but you never did.
Bm 
When he found out it was too late
G 
to take back those things he said.
D 
now he's living up in Birmingham
A 
at the edge of sanity
Bm 
and I nev er understand
G 
single thing he says to me
D 
A 
how many restless cowboys
will you settle down
Bm 
how many broken hearts
G 
will you drive back into town
D 
and how much barbed wire
A 
Can one woman drag around?
Bm 
How many restless cowboys
G 
will you settle down?
D 
I remember that boy you
A 
dated late last fall
Bm 
He was young and crazy
G 
but he was handsome and tall
D 
He could deal his hand,
A 
he could stand his ground
Bm 
A 
now he's living in some halfway house
G 
out on the edge of town
D

how many restless cowboys
will you settle down
Bm 
how many broken hearts

how much barbed wire
A 
can one woman drag around

I still think of you sometimes
A 
When the moon is clear and still

I guess that I love you
G

D 
But you broke my heart like a hurricane
A 
Breaks a fence post at the ground
Bm 
And I don't rope and ride much now,
G 
I just hang around

How many restless cowboys
will you settle down?
