[G]If you're gonna [D]live the life of [C]old", [C]
He said, "you [G]got to drive that [D]Ford like it's a [C]stallion, [C]
And you [G]got to wear your [D]heart just like a [C]gun." [C]

[G]The boy walked [D]out with a new-found [C]hero [C] ,
Yeah, the [G]boy, well he [D]walked away a [C]man [C] ,
And he [G]said to him- [D]self that dusty [C]day way down in [C]Texas,
Well, I'm [G]never gonna [D]walk this path [C]again [C] .
