Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Just [D]worn out truck,
[A]a c[D]offee cup and
[G]Another [D]night [A]out on the [D]interstate
It's not exactly where he
[G]thought he'd be
[D]When [A]he [D]reached this [G]age
There is an old man staring [D]back
at him in [A]the rear [D]view
With a million miles of life
in [G]his eyes
And makes [D]him [A]ask [D]tho[G]se
[D]questions [A]he don't want to
[G]Oh, but it [D]might be [A]time
[D]Does a shooting

[Verse 2]
[G]sta[A]r mis[D]s t[G]he sky
When it hits [D]the ground
And how long can [A]a woman go on loving you
If [D]you're not around
The years [G]are flying faster [D]now
So [A]tell [D]me how[G] 8 seconds
[D]feel so slow
[A]And I wonder [D]where[G][D][A]
old [G]cowboys [D]go[A][D][G]
[A]After the rodeo

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D]
[A][D][G][D][A][G]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]The[A]re's a h[D]ouse and
80 acres he calls [G]home
When he is not on the road
[D]And a woman who's been
[A]true to him so [D]long
[G]But lonely [D]sure [A]gets [G]old
Lately he's [D]been [G]thinking
[D]bout [A]her all[D] the time
[G]And on nig[D]hts lik[A]e this he'll
miss her most [G]of all
His [D]body and [A]his mind knows
[D]that he needs [G]to find
A [A]softer place [D]to fall

[Verse 4]
Does a shooting [G]star miss the sky
[D]When it [A]hits the [D]ground
And how [G]long can a woman go
[D]on loving you
If you're [A]not around
The years are flying faster now
So tell me [G]how 8 seconds [D]feel so slow
And [A]I wonder where old c[D]owboys go
Af[G]ter the [A]rodeo
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]
[A]Lord I wonder [D]where old cowboys go

[Outro 1]
