C                            Dm 
Called last night from Santa Fe 
G                              C 
Said there's been a change in plans 
                   Dm 
I did my best to explain 
G                            C 
And I sure hope you'll understand 
 
I got the money that you wired 
And I know that I should leave 
But there's a show in Angel Fire 
And I've already paid my fees 
 

[Refrão]
         F   G              C 
And I'm old enough to know better 
        F                 G             C 
But I just can't seem to turn and walk away 
           F                 G    C            Am 
So I keep laying it on the line, one ride at a time 
F                G           C 
Hopin' that the next one'll pay 
 
 
Remember Sam from Jackson Hole 
Well he turned out his bull last night 
Said he was feelin' kinda old 
And he'd lost the nerve to ride 
 
He said there's things that you can't change 
No matter how you try 
And there's nothing like the pain 
When you watch an old dream die 
 
(repeat chorus)
