[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A We played all night for nothing A But that ain't nothing new A When you're trying get a fire lit A That's just what you do A I was putting my guitar in the case A And some cowboy at the bar A Said how's about dropping me someplace A I said where A He said aw, not far
[Verse 2]
A Half a mile outside of town A He was rolling something up A By the time I hit the river A You see out of the truck A The road just kept on winding A He sang some cattle song A I just kept on driving A While the melody and the river A Rolled along
[Chorus]
G Sometimes it ain't what ya know D It's the way you get knowing G It ain't so much the getting to D A As much as it's the going
[Verse 3]
A I could see my hands A But they were kinda hard to feel A I just know that they were holding A On to the steering wheel A I looked at the cowboy A He was looking at the land A And singing in some language A I didn't understand G Kinda sound like A Ooh G A Ooh
[Verse 4]
A When we hit crystal city A The moon was going down A Cactus and coyotes A Crawling all around A We walked out into nothing A Till we were nothing too A Somewhere in the silence A Something started ringing true A He snapped off a live oak branch A And drew a circle in the sand A He put another in the center
N.C.
And wiped it clean with his hand

[Verse 5]
A I woke up in a parking lot A Sweating from the heat A Cowboy wasn't there anymore A But his hat was in the seat A Some ol western song A Swirling in my head A Dancing like a smoke ring A Around the last words he said
[Chorus]
G Sometimes it ain't what ya know D It's the way you get knowing G It ain't so much the getting to D A As much as it's the going G Sometimes it ain't what ya know D It's the way you get knowing G It ain't so much the getting to D A As much as it's the going A It's the going
[Outro]
