SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE
C G F C
Risin' time's at five, the red sun is still sleepin'
F C G
My pillow is my saddle, the stars are my ceilin'
C G F C
My whole body's achin', I got a young colt needin' breakin'
F C F G C G
But ya know I can't complain, thank God some things never change
C G F C
There's a storm somewhere that's brewin' as these old bones are creakin'
F C F G
The cows will soon be down and that old roof a leakin'
C G F C
Got a truck that needs some tendin' and some fences needin' mendin'
F C F G C G
And I know it must sound strange, but thank God some things never change
CHORUS
F C
They fenced in all the free land and oil wells run the range
F C
Long gone are the cattle drives since they brought in the trains
Dm F C
But the hard work and the friendships still remain
F G C G
Thank God some things never change
C G F C
Out here where nature rules each day's a different battle
F C G
And it still takes a man workin' in the saddle
C G F C
No machine can break a bay or bring in a lonely stray
F C F G C G
So I guess I will remain, thank God some things never change
CHORUS
F G
Yeah it looks like this old cowboy will remain
F G C
Thank God some things never change
