[Intro] A E A [Verse 1] A There's an old man in the foothills D A And if he ain't dead, he's living there still A Loved them little cuttin' horses E All his life D That's a high-dollar habit A D He don't mind, he's financed it A E Building songs A And losing wives [Chorus] D E You won't get much on mountain time A E D Except older and a thicker hide A F#m You got to fill the big empty E With little songs [Verse 2] A There's a lady on the highline D A She's fighting drought and her own mind A Day by day, she's been losing E To the wind D 'Cause between the price of feed A D And the moisture she don't see A E A gal considers selling out A Or pitting in [Chorus] D E You might not see a soul for days A D On them high and lonesome plains A F#m You got to fill the big empty E With little songs A E You got to fill the big empty A E A With little songs [Guitar Solo] A D A E A E D A D A E A [Outro] A E You got to fill the big empty A With little songs
