verse 1 
          G 
There's a dusty hat up on the dash of every truck you meet 

Country roads and fenceposts as far as you can see 
Am7                          D                            G 
Billboard sign says, "Rodeo, June eleven through thirteen" 
         G 
When you get to town just look around for the Rusty Nail Cafe 

Where the old hands sip their coffee and relive their glory days 
  Am7                        D 
A modern day Charlie Russell scene 
                      G 
Where cowboys are king 
 

[Refrão]
  C 
I get back there every now and then 
G 
Turn a few steers in the roping pen 
       C 
Just a couple of days and I'm gone again 
D 
Chasin' this old six string 
          C              D 
Oh, but I sure love to be 
                 G 
Where cowboys are king 

verse 2 
         G 
Runs the horses down, turn 'em out, head over to the bar 

There'll be George Strait on the jukebox, and I'll bet the chances are 
                 Am7                   D 
There'll be some cowgirls in well-worn jeans 
                 G 
Where cowboys are king 
 

[Refrão]
  C 
I get back there every now and then 
G 
Turn a few steers in the roping pen 
       C 
Just a couple of days and I'm gone again 
D 
Chasin' this old six string 
          C               D 
Oh, but I sure love to be 
                 G 
Where cowboys are king 

Refrain 
C                              D 
Boys, as bad as I wish I could stay 
C               Am7         D 
I just hope this never goes away 

Outro 
         C                               G 
So I can get back here every now and then 

Turn a few steers in the roping pen 
C 
Spend a little time with some good old friends 
D 
Y'all make it so hard to leave 
          C              D 
Oh, but I sure love to be 
                  G 
Where cowboys are king 
          C              D 
Oh, and I sure love to be 
                 G 
Where cowboys are king
