He's riding the plains living up to his name

Til he's next

To you

All the girls know his fame the men curse his name

And he can't rest

Til he's next

To you

There's always whiskey and women
C C C C G
And women and whiskey around
C C C C D
He can't tell which is worse to be dying of thirst or to drown
(It gets him down)

So he smiles through the pain he pinched Estelle he danced with Jane

Sometimes even he don't know how he stands it
C G
But he's the next to the last true romantic
Am
And he can't rest
D
Til he's next
G
To you
Am
And he can't rest
D
Til he's next
G
To you
