chorus
[c]old cowboy joe,[f]wileing away the hours,
[c]sitting in his rocking chair,
[g]on his front porch,
[c]old cowboy joe,[f]does'nt have a care,
[c]done all his fighting,[g] in his younger [c]days.
1/[c]now old cowboy joe,
was[f] born in the old days, when[c] settlers were coming,
from[g] any old whe-re,
his [c]parents built a house,and[f] with a few cows,
hens in the coup,and living off the land.
chorus
2/[c]when old joe was born,[f]times were hard,
you [c]had to grow up,at an[g][c] early age,
you fought for what you could get, and[f] fought to keep what you've got,
and[c] old joe can remember ,when his[g] pa got[c] shot.
chorus
3/[c]he had to do[f] all the chores,
[c]milking the cows,[g]feeding the hens,
and [c]working the la-nd,
till his pa was back[f] on his feet,
he[c] worked day and night,
[g]till he fell asl-[c]eep.
chorus
4/[c]now old cowboy joe,[f]joined the army,
[c]fighting for his country,[g]and to stay alive,
he[c] served his time,then[f] moseyed on home,
his[c] parents were old now,[g]all those years[c] alone,
[c]he finally got married,[f]to a girl in town,
[c]had a son to[g] carry on his [c]name.
chorus.

[c]trying to pack up the[f] dreaded weed,
[c]don't know how,[g]if i'll succeed,
[c]wound up like a corkscrew[f] every day,
[c]temptations there,will[g]power i[c]need.
[c]another day,[f]dragging a fag,
[c]got to keep busy,take my[g]mind off the pack,
[c]i've cut down to[f]what i had,
but[c]going the final mile,[g]is going to be[c]bad.
[c]i know there's patches and[f] things out there,
but[c]willpower is the[g]key to getting you clean,
the[c]anguish and torment to[f]suffer in-between,
i'm[c]thinking of the money i'll[g] save in the[c] end.
