WE'LL THE CHUTE GATE WINGS OPEN, HERE WE GO AGAIN
E A E
THE DESPARATE DANCE, THE KICK AND THE SPIN
E C#m G#m
DUST RISIN FROM A CROSS BRED BULL, FIRE MEETS WITH
PRIDE
G#m A E
A MAN COME A LONG WAY, JUST FOR THE SHORT RIDE
HIS WIFE'S IN THE GRANDSTANDS, TRYIN TO SWALLOW THE
FEAR
A LITTLE BABY INSIDE HER, WHO'S TIME'S DRAW NEAR
THE BULL FLYING HIGH NOW, THEN HE FALLS TO HIS SIDE
THEIR LOVE CAME A LONG WAY, JUST FOR THE SHORT RIDE
E C#m G#m
TWO HEARTS IN THE DARKNESS, SING A BLUE LULLABY
G#m A E
BEAT THE DRUM SLOWLY, FOR A COWBOY'S LAST RIDE
WHEN THE DUST IT ALL SETTLED AND THE CROWD DISAPPEARED
THE SIRENS STILL ECHO, IN AN UNBORN CHILDS EAR
LITTLE BOYS DUE IN APRIL, HE'll HAVE DADDY'S BLUE EYES
HE'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER, HIS FATHER'S LAST RIDE
E C#m G#m
THEY PREACHED AT THE SERVICE, FROM JOHN 25
G#m A E
HOW CHRIST CAME ALONG WAY, JUST FOR THE SHORT RIDE
E G#m A E
BEAT THE DRUM SLOWLY, FOR A COWBOY'S LAST RIDE
E A E
WELL THE CHUTE GATE SWINGS OPEN, HERE WE GO AGAIN
