Cowboy Chords Lyrics

[Produced By Rich Costey]

[Verse 1]
You could say I reached that time I know my trade
And that I know how to care for my guitar
And I know how to get it played
I'm comfortable and I sleep on a floor
I've played a fair few shows
And I'm gonna play more

And all along the while I was just trying to raise a smile

[Chorus]
I play cowboy chords
For these air conditioned words
About longing for the prairie and living in the suburbs
I sing simple songs
About nights and wrongs
About finding that trail that leads away from everyone

[Verse 2]
And darling, I know I did not give you much
I got hungry for some wandering
And I don't come back for months
And I kept your picture by my side
It's in my wallet, it's on my mind
And every song I know contains a whisper of your soul

See Frank Turner Live

Get tickets as low as $44

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
And so my days slip away
They're all the same
Rolling wheels, hotel rooms
And going grey
Casting glances over my shoulders as I go
Trying not to dwell on things I do not know

[Outro]
I know my trade out on these boards, cowboy chords
I know my trade out on these boards, cowboy chords
I know my trade out on these boards, cowboy chords
I know my trade out on these boards with cowboy chords

About

This is the final bonus track of the album, only available on the deluxe edition. The song only contains an acoustic guitar and a mandolin as instruments. Frank claimed to have written it “in twenty minutes on a tour bus in Germany” and that it was “agonizing” to decide whether or not it would be on the album.
