Verse 1
D 
When he was five years old,
his mom took him down
to the round corral
G 
to watch his dad work with a young
Em 
D 
horse they called Smokey.
G 
And the man did that horse buck.
But his old dad just sat up there
D 
and rode him like there was nothing to it.
And right then,
G 
the boy gained a whole new re spect for the man.
And from that day on,
D 
he knew that when he grew up,
G 
D 
he wanted to be a cowboy.
A 
Seventeen cowboy's dreams
G 
Ain't all picks and fences
D 
A 
G 
Once he's seen him ride an old Cheyenne
D 
A 
Ranch routines in his old man's skin
G 
This ain't where his heart is
D 
A 
G 
But you know his daddy understands
D 
A 
When noonday comes and father and son
G 
Sit down and eat their dinner
D 
A 
G 
Beneath that big white home in the sky
D 
A 
His daddy knows he's gotta let him go
G 
Cause the boy can't be a winner
D 
A 
G 
If he don't spread his wings and fly
Bm 
A 
Cause in his mind he's ridin'
G 
bulls out in Las Vegas
Bm 
A 
Today he's on a trail
G 
that leads to Santa Fe
D 
A 
The sweet voice of freedom
G 
echoes down the ages
D 
A 
Calls another cowboy on his way

He'd never seen the tears

that his mama cried

Mama cried, yeah
