[Verse 1]
G
I used to drive a Cadillac, right down the passin' lane
C G
I drove it round that city, 'til it drove me insane
G C
So I swapped it for a pick-up truck that I could drive out on the range
D D7 G
But when I saw that beautiful country, I sold that truck for change
[Chorus]
C G
Now I just drive cattle, from a leather-seated saddle
D D7 G
Comes equipped with 4-leg drive, long as she can stay alive
D G
I always have the windows down as I go riding around
D D7 G
With the radio ringing, or am I just singing?
[Verse 2]
G
First gear is walking, second gear is a trot
C G
Lope and gallop are 3 and 4, but we don't use those a lot
G C
She's got a one horsepower engine, and her shocks ain't worth a darn
D D7 G
But I'd rather have her out with me, than parked in some old barn
[Chorus]
C G
Now I just drive cattle, from a leather-seated saddle
D D7 G
Comes equipped with 4-leg drive, long as she can stay alive
D G
I always have the windows down as I go riding around

With the radio ringing, or am I just singing?
