Chords

As recorded by Randy Rogers Band (2025 release) [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 [Instrumental Break] C G D A C G D A [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] A
