[Verse 1]
G G7
Hurry up and hang up the phone
C Am
I ain’t shackled by the chains of hope
D7
Life here’s more important
C G C G
Than any of your stories about your life

[Verse 2]
G G7
Take a long long drink and sit back
C Am
I gave up on that railroad track
D7
And started in on a life of worry
C G C G
Talking and running in a hurry and just trying to get by

[Chorus]
D7
And there’s a house that sits on a hill
C
Where the sun and the sky stand still
D7
And the longhorn cattle oh
C G C G
And you ain’t got no foe but the wind and the rain

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
G G7
Hey there bossman, I am for hire
C Am
And I’ll do anything you desire
D7
Now we all know that a woman can’t do ride
C G C G
She ain’t got the guts to fight sitting pretty in a chair

[Verse 4]
G G7
Hurry up and lace up your boots
C Am
And get out of this motel room
D7
There will be time enough for loving
C G C G
Someone new and more becoming in your next affair

[Chorus]
D7
And there’s a house that sits on a hill
C
Where the sun and the sky stand still
D7
And the longhorn cattle oh
C G C G
And you ain’t got no foe but the wind and the rain
