[Intro]
G
 
[Verse 1]
         D                      Bm
He got busted up bad down in Lubbock
         G                        D
He was taking the greyhound back home.
            Bm          A          G
Though the fire in his eye never flickered,
            Bm           A              G
He knew the best of his good days were gone,
              D                    Bm
He said I'm thinking a lot about retiring,
          G                       D
But the rodeo life is all that I know,
        Bm       A           G
hey an' I don't know what to do with the rest,
         Bm         A        G
But I'm too burned out to go on.
 
He said,
 
[Chorus]
  D                 A
Scatter the ashes over the road,
 Bm                     G
Then let a strong wind blow,
        D
When I can't walk away,
A               Bm    G
It's my time to go.
 
[Verse 2]
         D                   Bm
He said son my road map to heaven
            G                  D
Sometimes leads me out of the way
                Bm    A               G
Through those rodeo towns and those drunkin' old sundowns
  Bm            A    G
Someday to an early grave.
                D                    Bm
He pulled his saddle up over his shoulder,
            G                          D
An' said before you throw dirt on my bones,
             Bm         A           G
Hey tell me what do you do with a broken old cowboy.
        Bm             A            G
Who's spent his whole life being thrown.
 
He said,
 
[Chorus]
  D                 A
Scatter the ashes over the road,
 Bm                     G
Then let a strong wind blow,
        D
When I can't walk away,
A               Bm    G
It's my time to go.
