[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G Several years ago A7 D He gave up everything that mattered G A7 D And rambled off to Nashville Tennessee G With a pocket full of country songs A D And his old guitar G A7 D He thought that's where he was supposed to be G A7 But the family stood here waiting and his songs D Are getting faded G A D There's probably not a nickel in his jeans G But if he don't get good enough A D To sing his way back home G A D He knows that he can always count on me
[Chorus]
G D Momma is Joe still driving C G Them old nails out in Colorado C D Lord I always thought a-lot of him G You know maybe someday D Me and this old guitar C G Just might happen to get lucky A D And I'll get a chance to go back and visit my old friends G D C Did Sonny get that ranch he always wanted G Out by Boulder C D Lord, I used to want to be a cowboy too G D C G But I'm still stuck here in Nashville writing songs and getting older C D G D A D And mostly I always think about you
[Verse 2]
D G I wonder where he'd be right now A D If he was not a dreamer G And if he was just A D A little more like me G He wouldn't be in Nashville A D Reaching for the stars G A D And wishing things were like they used to be
[Chorus]
G D Mom is Joe still driving C G Them old nails in Colorado C D I always thought a lot of him G Maybe someday D Me and this old guitar C G Is gonna happen to get lucky A D And I'll come back and visit my old friends G D C Mom did Sonny get that ranch that he always wanted G Out by Boulder C D I used to want to be a cowboy too G D C G Mam I'm stuck here in Nashville writing songs and getting older C D G But mostly I been thinking about you
