[Intro]
B A B
[Verse]
B
When I was a young man in my prime
A B
I had a woman and her future by my side
B
But the four winds blow and the grass don't grow
A B
'Round the feet of a man with travellin' in his hide
[Verse]
E F# B
So I threw off all the shackles and the chains
E F#
And I said goodbye to what's-her-name
B E F#
And I suffered through the cold September rain
B A B A B
Headed back to freedom once again
[Verse]
B
Well, I tried my luck on a fiery buck
A B
At the back of a two-room ramblin' ranchin' shack
B
Now there's nothing worse than a buckskin horse
A B
With a mind of his own and a saddle on his back
[Verse]
E F# B
For riding he just couldn't seem to care
E F#
So he left me there in the dusty air
B E F#
And I suffered through the insult and the pain
B A B A B
Landed on my backside once again
[Verse]
B
Well, I broke my back laying down the track
A B
For the railroad that was making its way out West
B
But I had no feel for the cold hard steel
A B
And a kind of a job that would give a man no rest
[Verse]
E F# B
So I said goodbye and I headed North for gold
E F#
And I staked my claim on a salted vein
B E F#
And I suffered from the hunger and the cold
B A B A B
And all I found was a young man growing old
[Verse]
B
I drank my fill of the barroom swill
A B
And I danced 'til the sun was a jewel in the morning sky
B
I used my fist for a goodnight kiss
A B
On the face of a man with evil in his eye
[Verse]
E F# B
Then I stumbled through the morning feeling ill
E F#
Till I fell with a thud in the rain and the mud
B E F#
And I suffered through a day or two in jail
B A B
Then I headed back for the freedom of the trail
[Instrumental]

E F# B
E F# B E F#
B A B
[Verse]
B
Well, the years have flown, but the times I've known
A B
Were better than a poke in the eye with a rusty nail
B
If a man will try and a man don't lie to himself
A B
Life can be one hell of a tale
[Verse]
E F# B
To change my life, I wouldn't give a dime
E F#
And when I go the books will show
B E F#
That I suffered from my youth right through my prime
B A B
I'm headed back to freedom, one last time
B A B
