Standard (EADGBE)
Intro --- 1x
If I was a gambling man,
never would have let you play your hand
with the broken down cowboy like me
Cos you never can trust your luck
he's bad news in a pickup truck
a broken down cowboy like me
He played every card he's got
had a good hand but he messed it up
With that bum-around tumble-down heart
Saddlebags full of pain
carries them around just like her middle name
a losing streak play them or dont
Chorus
Oh he string you along sang you a lonesome song
but he wind up alone again
--- 2x
no matter how hard you try
never gonna let you get inside
that tumbled down broken down hard
it's a tough riding rodeo
mean hard stewin long time ago
a broken down cowboy like me
But the way I feel about you
wouldn't want that horse to hurt you to
a broken down cowboy like me
Solo
same as verse)
Chorus
Oh he string you along sang you a lonesome song
but he wind up alone again

If I was a gambling man,
never would have let you play that hand
