Biografía:
Willmon was raised on a ranch near Afton, Texas. By his second year in college, he dropped out to join a bluegrass band. In 1995, he moved to Nashville to start a songwriting career, and by 1998 he had a song-publishing contract with Sea Gayle Music. One of his first cuts as a songwriter was "It Doesn't Mean I Don't Love You". This song was recorded by the short-lived duo McHayes (which comprised 1990s country singer Wade Hayes and fiddler Mark McClurg), and reached #41 on the country charts in 2003.

[INTRO]
C G Am G F
[VERSE]
C G
Ol' Tuck was a cowboy I knew years ago,
Am G F
Could put a stretch in a story like a forty foot rope.
C G
Young an' wide-eyed, I believed every word,
Am G F
As he rambled through the canyons an' stampeded herds.
G
Swore there were still Comanches in them breaks to the south:
F
He'd seen good hands ride in there an' never rode out.
C G Am G F
[PRE]
C G
He had a horse he called Dollar that twice saved his life.
Am G F
He lost him to Jim Shoulders playing' poker one night.
C G
When I turned eighteen, I packed up an' left home:
Am G F G
Tuck was pretty old back then an' by now he's long gone.
[CHORUS]
Am G
But I've heard it said that ol' cowboys don't die:
F
They get put out to pasture way up the sky.
Am G
So if God's got a Heaven for old cowboy legends,
F
I hope the grass is greener on the other side,
Am G C
An' he's got good horses to ride.
C G Am G F
[VERSE]
C G
Now the folks back home would tell you Tuck was just crazy an' old.
Am G F
But I still believe in Conquistador gold.
C G
An' those memories look like a mirage in the distance,
Am G F
Starin' out from this prison of urban existence.
G
So I saddle up an' I go back now an' then,
F
To remember who I was an' just forget where I am.
[SOLO]
C G Am G F
C G Am G F
[PRE-CHORUS]
C G
Now the concrete an' steel, they spread out like a plague.
Am G F
Consumin' the rivers, the mountains, and the plains.
C G
Then one of these days, it'll all be gone.
Am G F G
But somewhere, that spirit will always live on.
[VERSE}
Am G
'Cause I've heard it said that ol' cowboys don't die:

Am G F G
An' he's got good horses to ride.
Am G C G Am G F
Yeah, he's got good horses to ride.
C G Am G F
A few good horses to ride.
C G Am G F
A few good horses to ride.
