^D Folks used to think that ^A I could ride ^Bm any bronc or ^A bull alive
And ^G maybe in my younger days I ^A could
But ^D now I'm slowin' ^A down a bit f ^Bm riends tell me that ^A I should quit
And ^G if I didn't l ^A ove it so I w ^D ould
I recall when folks thought ^A I was great and ^Bm all the riders ^A used to hate
To ^G see my name upon the entry d ^A oor
'Cause ^D I could ride and ^A I could rope the ^Bm others seemed to ^A have no hope
^G Lookin' at the ^A buckle that I ^D wore
It said ^G All Around ^A Cowboy of 1 ^D 964
Long ^G days and lucky breaks helped me a ^A long
^G Working hard and r ^A iding fast and ^D sleeping ^A in the ^G cold
Made me ^G All Around ^A Cowboy of 1 ^D 964
^D Folks don't seem to r ^A ealize the ^Bm thrill I get from ^A every ride
That ^G bronc feels like pure dynamite to ^A me
^D Scratched and bruised my ^A body aches f ^Bm rom the day to day a ^A buse it takes
Lord ^G only knows the ^A way it sets me ^D free
Now my days have ^A shortened up I'm ^Bm outa breaks and ^A outa luck
And ^G things will never be the same old ^A way
As ^D I look and s ^A hed a tear ^Bm sometimes I can ^A almost hear
The ^G echos of the ^A judges they would ^D say
You're the ^G All Around ^A Cowboy of 1 ^D 964
Long ^G days and lucky breaks helped me a ^A long
^G Working hard and r ^A iding fast and ^D sleeping ^A in the ^G cold
Made me ^G All Around ^A Cowboy of 1 ^D 964
Yes I'm the ^G All Around ^A Cowboy of 1 ^D 964
