Horse Named Texas

Intro
D

Verse 1
D                    Bm
Saddled up my dreams on a horse named Texas
          G                                     D
Hit those honky-toking trails like those outlaw boys
                             Bm
I've been roping cowboy songs on a horse named Texas
           G                         A           D
Tied a few good ones down and made a lot of neon noise

Chorus
           G                              A
From those Cheyenne Frontier Days to that Grand Ole Opry stage
       D                                  Bm7
I rode right smack down the middle of the street on Music Row
     A            G
I've never traded in my boots and jeans
                   A
Still playing that dance hall down in Gruene
      D                   A/C#                 Bm7             A
Never sold-out, but every now and then, I sold out a couple of shows
                   G
Still playing that country gold
                 A                           D
Still got a long ways to go on a horse named Texas

Verse 2
D                                      Bm7
Came up short, been bucked off, had my heart stomped in the dirt
               G                               D
But I got back up, got back on, time and time again
                                           Bm7
After all these years, I've learned that a winner's just a loser
             G               A                D
Who keeps on losing 'til the day they finally win

Chorus
           G                              A
From those Cheyenne Frontier Days to that Grand Ole Opry stage
       D                                  Bm7
I rode right smack down the middle of the street on Music Row
     A            G
I've never traded in my boots and jeans
                   A
Still playing that dance hall down in Gruene
      D                   A/C#                 Bm7             A
Never sold-out, but every now and then, I sold out a couple of shows
                   G
Still playing that country gold
                 A                           G
Still got a long ways to go on a horse named Texas

Instrumental Break

Bridge
         Em                                    D/F#
And if I choke or wind up broke, God knows I'd do it all again
               G                                        A
If I write one song that saves a life, wouldn't that be worth it in the end?

Out-Chorus
           G                              A
From those Cheyenne Frontier Days to that Grand Ole Opry stage
       D                                  Bm7
I rode right smack down the middle of the street on Music Row
     A            G
I've never traded in my boots and jeans
                   A
Still playing that dance hall down in Gruene
      D                   A/C#                 Bm7             A
Never sold-out, but every now and then, I sold out a couple of shows
           G                                  A
From those New York City lights to those gold-buckle Vegas nights
      G                             A
Troubadour out in LA to the Houston Rodeo
                 D
On a horse named Texas
