Buckles and Boots

ALBUM:Buckles and Boots
INTRO:G
VERSE:
G
I was your Western National rodeo star
C
I had a couple buckles under my belt
G
Well I know you loved me but the fame drugged me
D
I let you go for a spell
G
Well you weren't the kind of woman
C
To stick around and watch me leave
G
You bought a one way ticket
D G
To anywhere but close to me
VERSE:
Well darlin' you must've been my good luck charm
Because the next weekend I broke my arm
Yeah I lost my chance to qualify
And I lost my will to ride
Now I wake up every morning with my
All that's left of me since I left you
Are my buckles and my boots
CHORUS:
C
I got no one
G
Just an empty shell
D
Close to the man I was
C D
You were my southern belle
C
And I spend all my nights
G
With the cold hard truth
D
All that's left of me since I left you
G
Are my buckles and my boots
VERSE:
Well I had my eight seconds of fame
But that's all just a distant dream
Now a rough stock truck stop still got my pictures up
So that's where I eat my beans
The waitress says "Hey, your wasting away"
As she puts down a free bowl of soup
All that's left of me since I left you
Are my buckles and my boots
CHORUS:
BREAK:C,G,D,C,D,C,G,D,G(chorus progression)
VERSE:
My hearts been broken into so many pieces
It looks like dust in the wind
My banks foreclosing on all of my leases
I don't have a house to live in
And I sold the shirt off my back
To buy a six pack now I don't even have that
All that's left of me since I left you
Are my buckles and my boots
CHORUS:
OUTRO:
G D
All that's left of me since I left you
G
Are my buckles and my boots
G D
All that's left of me since I left you
C G
Are my buckles and my boots

second verse because I have no idea what he's
saying. If anyone knows let me know and I'll add it.
