VERSE:
C Cmaj7
Daddy watched John Wayne on a corduroy couch
Am C
I didn’t know Texas from a hole in the ground
Cmaj7
But it roped me in,
Am
That’s where it all began

C Cmaj7
A stick was a rifle, a bullet was a rock
Am
The good guys won and the bad guys lost
C Cmaj7
We climbed them trees,
Am
We were wild and free

Dm Am F
Me and my buddies ran that town

CHORUS:
C Cmaj7
We were cowboys
Am
Runnin’ like wild horses that couldn’t be tamed
C Cmaj7
We were cowboys

Am C
Didn’t know nothing but we knew everything

Dm C
We never made it eight, never won a buckle
F
But man, we were something

C Cmaj7 Am Am

VERSE:
C
Well when I turned sixteen my saddle was the front seat
C Cmaj7
Of that 1993 Silverado
Am C
On a dirt road

C Cmaj7
I was Eastwood cool with a Marlboro Red
C
Aztec blanket in an eight foot bed

Earnin’ braggin’ rights,
Am C
Every Saturday night

Dm Am F
Them small town girls couldn’t help but fall for us

CHORUS:

We were cowboys

Jumpin’ barbed wire fences and ropin’ the wind
