| You’ve made it | pretty clear what | you like |
| Bb | Bb/A | Gm7 | C |
| It’s only | fair to tell you | now |
| Dm | Dm7 | Bb | Bb/A |
| that I leave | early in the | morning |
| Gm7 | C | Dsus4 | C |
| and I won’t be back till | next year |
| Dm | Dm7 | Bb | Bb/A |
| I see that | kiss-me pucker | forming |

| but maybe you should plug it with a | beer, | cause |
| F | F/E | Dm | Dm7 |
| Papa was a | rodeo - | Mama was a rock’n’roll | band |
| F | F/E | Bb | C | |
| I could | play guitar and | rope a steer | before I learned to | stand |
| F | F/E | Bb | F |
| Home was anywhere with | diesel gas - | Love was a trucker’s | hand |
| F | F/E | Bb | Bb/A |

| The light | reflecting off the | mirror | ball |
| Bb | Bb/A | Gm7 | C |
| looks like a | thousand swirling | eyes |
| F | F/E | Dm | Dm7 |
| They make me | think I shouldn | ’t be here | at all |
| Bb | Bb/A | Gm7 | C |
| You know, | every minute someone | dies |
| Dm | Dm7 | Bb | Bb/A |
| What are we | doing in this | dive bar |
| Gm7 | C | Dsus4 | C |
| How can you live in a | place like | this |
| Dm | Dm7 | Bb | Bb/A |
| Why don’t you | just get | into my car |
| Gm7 | C | Dsus4 | C |
| and I’ll take you away | I’ll take | that | kiss now, but |

| And now it’s | 55 years | later |
| Gm7 | C | Dsus4 | C |
| We’ve had the romance of | the | century |
| Dm | Dm7 | Bb | Bb/A |

| I still feel like crying | when I | think of | what you said to me |
| Bb | C | F | F/E | |
| Papa | was a rodeo |
