Am - Em - G - Am (x4)

Am                                        Em
Better take some extra blankets if you're going out past 60.
     G                            Am
They say the wind is cold, coming in off the shore.
    Am                            Em
You better take some extra flour. Take some extra biscuits.
G                           Am
Take another bed roll and a few more shotgun shells.
Chorus:
          Am                Em
Don't you ever get tired of herding up those cattle, 
G                                     Am
From low to high and high to low, and always changing ground?
          Am                Em
Don't you ever get tired of sitting in that saddle,
G                                 Am
Staring at that western sky, watching the sun go down?

They say the blacktop's tore up, right up through Topeka.
They're pulling people over and the trucks are moving slow.
I got a friend out back, he knows a couple side roads.
The troopers stay out of there and the weigh stations are closed.

(Chorus)

Am - Em - G - Am (x2)

They found old Ray McGuire last week, up on Jimmy Ridge.
He was wrapped up like a mummy, frozen colder than a stone.
They say they found his herd where he had them fenced and hid.
He had several different breeds and the brands weren't all his own.

(Chorus)

Am - Em - G - Am (repeat and fade)
