The Only One I Know (Cowboy Life) - Cody Johnson Intro A

Verse 1

Another Jake break wakes me up

to a hotel lobby coffee cup,

That d

irty old white pi

ckup truck with the tr

ailer hooked up by the Denny's she's mine

Last night's bugs on the windshield,

fast food trash on the dash meal

A speeding ticket and a

doctor bill from a

gash I got from a short go in Casper,

Summer of last year, maybe next year

CHORUS

Oh, and I

ride and I

fall, One

day I might win 'em

all,

It's just

broken hearts and broken bones, and a

hell of a whole lot of being alone

But I

ride and I

roam, where I

hang my hat is

home

This

cowboy life might kill me, but it's the

only one I

know

Verse 2

Cell phone was breaking up, the n

ight she called to say she'd had enough

Of my

little white lies,

little white lines,

wanting somebody who could never be with her

I look back on every fork in the road that

I took to chase that buckle of gold

And

wonder if what I held from

what I hold is worth

trading away, hell, I don't know

All I know

CHORUS

Oh, and I

ride and I

fall, One

day I might win &rsq

uo;em all,

It's just

broken hearts and broken bones, and a

hell of a whole lot of being alone

But I

ride and I

roam, where I

hang my hat is

home

This

cowboy life might kill me, but it's the

only one I

know

Bridge: E

Verse 3

Yeah it'll k

ill me before it ever lets me go,

It'll

kill me, but it's the only life I know

And I'd

rather die than be caught crying, so I just smile and wear my hat down

l&md

ash;o-w

Wear my hat down

low

CHORUS

And I

ride and I

fall, One

day I might win 'em

all,

It's just

broken hearts and broken bones, and a

hell of a whole lot of being alone.

But I

ride and I

roam, where I

hang my hat is

home

This

cowboy life might kill me, but it's the

only one I

know

Yeah this cowboy life might kill me, but it's the o

nly o

ne I k
