G
He's riding the plains living up to his name
C G
As the next to the last true romantic
C G
He knows that his story is tragic
Am
But he can't rest
D
Til he's next
G
To you
G
All the girls know his fame the men curse his name
C G
And they talk about him like he's magic
C G
But he's the next to the last true romantic
Am
And he can't rest
D
Til he's next
G
To you
C
He's stolen hearts like they're horses
C C C C G
And horses when hearts can't be found
C C C C D
He keeps riding from one horse to one horse to one horse towns
It gets him down
G
He know's he's a fool to get caught up with you
C G
But he's the next to the last true romantic
C G
He can't let go of love once he's had it
Am
And he can't rest
D
Til he's next
G
To you
C
There's always whiskey and women
C C C C G
And women and whiskey around
C C C C D
He can't tell which is worse to be dying of thirst or to drown
It gets him down
G
So he smiles through the pain he pinched Estelle he danced with Jane
C G
Sometimes even he don't know how he stands it
C G
But he's the next to the last true romantic
Am
And he can't rest
D
Til he's next
G
To you
Am
And he can't rest
D
Til he's next
G
To you
Josh.
