So You Want To Be A Cowboy Singer

Waylon Jennings


Tom: Am

Am                                   D
City light are shining like diamonds
Am                                D
Coming from the southwestern lows
Am                                                 D
Big jet engines screaming like ten thousand horses
F       G                  Am
Another town, another show

[Verse]  Waylon Jennings
Am                                                             D
I don't talk about the women that I've known from time to time
Am                                  D
You know that I just can't be alone
Am                                              D
You know there's no one waiting for me anywhere
F     G                                 Am
But I love, like I love the one at home
F G
love the one at home

[Chorus]
D                                 Am
So you want to be a cowboy singer
D                                     Am
It can make you rich or make you poor
D                                                          Am
Just turn it loose, let it out, and hook em' down the road
  F              G                 Am
( There's always room for one more

[Instrumental]
D   Am   D   Am   D   Am    F   G    Am    F    G   Am

[Verse]  Waylon and Tony Joe
Am                                    D
Sometimes when I look into the mirror
Am                                          D
I can see that I've been crazy now and then
Am                                                  D
The lines on my face won't tell you where I'm going
F               G                        Am
But it sure can tell you where I've been

[Chorus]
D                                 Am
So you want to be a cowboy singer
D                                 Am
Pick them ol' guitars every night
D                                               Am
If you're ever down around Corpus Christi Texas
F  G                               Am
Be sure to tell them all I said hi
F  G                               Am
Be sure to tell them all I said hi
