[Produced By Rich Costey] [Verse 1] You could say I reached that time I know my trade And that I know how to care for my guitar And I know how to get it played I'm comfortable and I sleep on a floor I've played a fair few shows And I'm gonna play more And all along the while I was just trying to raise a smile [Chorus] I play cowboy chords For these air conditioned words About longing for the prairie and living in the suburbs I sing simple songs About nights and wrongs About finding that trail that leads away from everyone [Verse 2] And darling, I know I did not give you much I got hungry for some wandering And I don't come back for months And I kept your picture by my side It's in my wallet, it's on my mind And every song I know contains a whisper of your soul [Chorus] [Bridge] And so my days slip away They're all the same Rolling wheels, hotel rooms And going grey Casting glances over my shoulders as I go Trying not to dwell on things I do not know [Outro] I know my trade out on these boards, cowboy chords I know my trade out on these boards, cowboy chords I know my trade out on these boards, cowboy chords I know my trade out on these boards with cowboy chords
