21st Century Cowboy
Dub Miller
A D
He wakes up every morning, long before the sun comes up
A B7 E7
And he puts his coffee on the cluttered dash of his mid size pickup truck
A D
The south open pens at daylight, hired cowboys are on the way
E A
Well they may not look like Lonesome Dove but get’s the job done the same
Chorus:
D E A
And he’s a cowboy in the 21st century
D E A
And he’s learned to do his job a different way
D E A A/G# F#m
When he was younger he would ride the broncs, now he sits in his pickup and honks
D E A
Cause he knows the cows will be coming either way
He’s known a few good horses and some dogs along the way
Now he’s got a brand new four wheeled pet and Suzuki is it’s name
You don’t have to saddle or shoe it or feed it any hay
You just put a gallon of gas in the girl, she’ll ride good everyday
Chorus
He pays it all in taxes, what his calves bring a sale
And all his cowboy’s wives live in Mexico and they keep in touch by mail
As for him his family’s home now and he knows that’s all he needs
But sometimes he feels like he’s stuck inside a cartoon of Ace Reid
Chorus
He’s switched from boots to Nikes, cause they’re easier on his feet
And has a lot less beer these days but he’s still eats too many sweets
And the cattle markets down but the hunters still come so I guess he’d doing well
It ain’t easy getting by as a rancher these days, hey old man give ‘em hell
Chorus
