 D                              G                 D
 Hot coffee on the dash board a cold front on the way
 D                          G        A7
 Last night I was in Oregon tomorrow Santa Fe
 D                               G             A7
 Up for two days runnin' and I'm feelin' tired inside
 D...                       G           A7    D
 Down to my last dollar but tonight I'm gonna ride

 Chorus:

        G              D
 Silver spurs and gold tequilla
               G               D
 You know they keep me hangin' on
        D...
 Pretty girls in old cantinas
         G                A7
 Give me shelter from the storm
     G                D
 The mile that I have traveled
     G             D
 the places I have seen
            D...
 Just won't let me put a saddle
         G     A7     D
 On this crazy cowboy dream

 A gold watch in my pocket that my daddy gave to me
 He spemt his lifetime working for a home and family
 I call him on the phone sometimes, I see him when I can
 Just long enough to check the binds and jump the fence again

 CHORUS:

 Bridge:
 And I'll never put a saddle on this crazy...
 Cowboy dream

 CHORUS:

 This song has a really good base line on some of the D chords.  I've
indicated them with D...  It goes like this.

   D...            G   A7  D
