    The kid 
    was 
    tall, 
    rangy, 

    still 
    wet 
    behind 
    the 
    ears 

    But 
    he 
    could 
    ride 
    and 
    he 
    could 

    roam 
    way 
    beyond 
    his 
    years 

    He 
    said, 

    Daddy, 
    can 
    I 
    ride 
    with 
    you 

    now 
    that 
    I'm 
    sixteen? 

    Help 
    you 
    drive 
    them 
    dog

    gies 
    up 
    the trail 
    to 

    Abile
    ne 

    His 
    daddy 
    was 
    a 
    mighty 
    man, 

    a 
    cowboy 
    to 
    the 
    bone 

    Trail 
    boss 
    for 
    the 

    J 
    -Bar 
    -Z 
    out 
    east 
    of 

    San 

    Antone 

    He 
    said, 
    boy, 

    don't 
    get 
    impa
    tient 
    now 

    You've 
    got 
    a 
    lot 
    to 
    learn 

    You'll 
    get 
    your 
    chance 
    to 
    be 
    top 
    hand 

    But 
    you'll 
    have 
    to 
    wait 
    your 
    turn 

    Cause 
    the 
    trail 
    goes 
    on 
    forever

    And 
    the 
    days 
    get 
    mighty 
    long 

    If 
    a 
    northern 
    stock's 
    too 
    blow
    in' 

    It 
    can 
    chill 
    you 
    to 
    the 
    bone 

    And 
    there's 
    rivers 
    and 
    there's 
    rust
    lers 

    And 
    you've 
    got 
    to 
    understand 

    It 
    takes 
    more 
    than 
    just 
    a 

    cow
    boy's 
    son 

    You've 
    got 
    to 
    be 
    a 
    man 


    Against 
    his 
    daddy's 
    wishes, 

    he 
    left 
    that 
    very 
    day 

    Signed 
    on 
    with 
    the 

    Double 

    D 
    to 
    drive 
    the 

    Chisholm 
    train 

    There 
    were 
    two 
    weeks 
    out 
    of 

    Texas 

    He 
    was 
    ridin' 
    a 
    drag 
    one 
    night 

    When 
    an 
    order 
    started 
    blow
    in' 

    And 

    Simpler 

    Heard 
    was 
    out 
    of 
    sight 

    The 
    snow 
    was 
    fallin' 
    faster 
    now 

    The 
    cold 
    wind 
    took 
    his 
    breath 

    He 
    knew 
    the 
    end 
    was 
    com
    ing 
    soon, 

    he 
    was 
    sure 
    to 
    freeze 
    to 
    death 

    Went 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    blinding 
    white
    ness, 

    rode 
    a 
    tall 
    and 
    mighty 
    man 

    He 
    said, 
    son, 
    I 
    was 
    just 
    passing 
    through, 

    thought 
    you 
    could 
    use 
    a 
    hand 

    Cause 
    the 
    trail 
    goes 
    on 
    forever 
    and 

    the 
    days 
    get 
    mighty 
    long 

    When 
    that 
    old 
    north 
    wind 
    starts 
    a 
    blowin' 

    it 
    can 
    chew 
    you 
    to 
    the 
    bones 

    And 
    so 
    the top 
    hand 
    always 
    has 
    to 

    do 
    the 
    very 
    best 
    he 
    can 

    And 
    I 
    knew 
    you 
    were 
    a 
    cow
    boy, 

    now 
    I 
    know 
    that 
    you're 
    a 
    man 

    I 
    knew 
    you 
    were 
    a 
    cow
    boy, 
    son, 

    now 
    you've 
    become 
    a 
    man 

    you

      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 🙂

      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.
