Tell you a story, about a girl named Kimberly
F Asus4 Bb
Who all the cowboys wanted cause she was wild and free
F Asus4 Bb
But now theres fussing and theres fighting We all taking sides
F Asus4 Bb
While the cowboys are playing their old games of conquer and divide. You see
F Asus4 Bb
Kimberly was special, a rare and wild soul
F Asus4 Bb
Nearly every man who met her, their hearts she always stole
F Asus4 Bb
But there are always those exceptions of the cold and callous kind
F Asus4 Bb
That wanted just her body and leave the mess for us behind
F Asus4 Bb
Now the prince of the cowboys, his name was Barnett
F Asus4 Bb
He wanted to leave his mark, you know, so we did not forget
F Asus4 Bb
So he said "Mine mine mine, all for me"
F Asus4 Bb
It's great to be a cowboy in the wild west roaming free
F Asus4 Bb
So he brandished all his bullets he put a gun right to our head
F Asus4
Bb
He said "I'm giving you all a choice now, you're either with me or your dead
F Asus4 Bb
You know I got to have this kim, I cant get her off my mind
F Asus4 Bb
And I aint gonna stop until shes mine, mine"
G Bb

Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the
G Bb
sand. It's all gray.
Asus4 C G
There are no black and whites so who am I to say
F Asus4
I am what I am and I am strong
Bb
Cause I got my land and I got my song
F Asus4
I am what I am and I am belong
Bb
Cause I got my land and I got my song

F Asus4 Bb
Now its come to a showdown and its all push and pull
F Asus4 Bb
Got these lawyers having field day while the cowboys are funding schools
F Asus4 Bb

F Asus4 Bb
Or just another god damn hole in the ground just another opportunity?
G Bb

Asus4 C
Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the
