Charley Crockett – One Trick Pony (Guitar)

              C            Dm                Am
I never saw a town where I threw them raises down

       Dm                Am                  E7
Didn’t know the lonesome sound of a midnight train

    Am                 C           Dm               Am
The kind that calls my name, I was born to play the game

     Dm             G                      Am
Even if it’s all in vain, call me what you want

                      C                  Dm               Am
I’m bound to tell the truth the way that gamblers rarely do

        Dm            Am                 E7
They be tyin' up your noose and callin' you "friend"

   Am           C            Dm                 Am
If it was up to me, like the bluebird, you’d be free

         Dm                 G                   Am
Oh, this life ain’t what it seems, if you catch my drift

                       C                Dm                     Am
Rich men pretend to be poor, poor folks only want a little bit more

          Dm          Am                  E7
What they never had before, and it’s a crying shame

   Am               C              Dm                 Am
My daddy worked the land, and mama raised me with her hands

       Dm             G                  Am
We all do the best we can with the cards we're dealt

                      C                  Dm                 Am
I ain’t one to beg or plead, but I could sure use some relief

          Dm         Am                    E7
Those who label me a thief for standin' up tall

              Am          C               Dm                 Am
And there’s a woman on my mind, for I her I’d gladly give my life

        Dm                 G                  Am
And the little girl by her side that wears my name

                 C               Dm            Am
A one-trick pony knows that it’s all about the show

        Dm           Am                     Em
Life is but a rodeo, and you can write that down

  Am             C                 Dm               Am
I best be moving on, you turn your head and I’ll be gone

        Dm                G              Am
In this world, I won’t be long just like you
