More chords by Nanci Griffith


A Bm

In an old pickup truck, with his hat pulled down

D E A

He drives them old Montana backroads

A Bm

Remembering half-forgotten times, and wondering where it's gone

D E A

And if he can still carry the load

A Bm

Now, the summer sun is setting, and the moon is on the rise

D E A

As he pulls that old pickup into town

A Bm

And he parks beside the place where the feed store used to be

D E A

And he heads for an old familiar sound

D E A A/G# F#m E

Those honky-tonk bands still play old-time songs

D E A

Remembering how things used to be

D E A A/G# F#m

Sitting at the bar with his head down in his hands

D E

So alone with his memories

D D/C# E A

Lord, he's so alone with his memories

A Bm

He remembers back in '33, or was it '34

D E A

The year that he won the rodeo

A Bm

The buckle that they gave him, well, he still wears today

D E A

For that Brahma bull that he rode

A Bm

But his riding days are over now, his back is getting weak

D E A

And his eyesight, it just ain't as good

A Bm

As the days he'd spot a deer at a hundred yards or more
