 Subject: Born to be a cowboy   R.W. Hampton
 Another good R.W. Hampton song. 
 4/4
 (C)The painted walls of Palo (C7) Duro
 How my (F) heart can see them yet
 As a (C) boy of eighteen summers
 Long (G) before I knew regret
 There (C) I rode the bold (C7) unwilling
 And my (F) loop was keen and true
 And even (C) in the dead of winter
 (G) The sky seemed always (C) blue
 
 (C) And its been (F) Saddle horse and (G)catch twine
 (F) That has been my (C) life
 Some say its been my downfall
 That the (F) world has passed me (G) by
 The (F) life I live I (G) freely chose
 (F) I'm at yet (C) tonight
 I was (F) born to be a (C) cowboy
 And I (G) will be 'til I (C) die
 
 (C) In the heat of summer (C7) branding
 We'd (F) get an early start
 And as (C) we reached the pen of horses
 We'd (G) saddle in the dark
 Then (C) we'd ride out on the (C7) morning
 (F) Without a spoken word
 The (C) ring of spur and the fall of hoof was
  (G) All that could be (C) heard
 
 Chorus;
 
 (C) I first layed eyes on Darcy (C7) Taylor
 At (F) the cowboy christmas ball
 The (C) daughter of a preacher
 And the (G) fairest of them all
 But (C) I knew I could never have (C7) her
 Though (F) I loved her just the same
 And I (C) still get that old time feeling
 (G) When I hear her (C) name
 
 Chorus;
 
 (C) Photographs and trophy (C7) buckles
 The things (F) you hold with pride
 When eyes (C) grow dim, won't mean as much 
 As (G) what you've got inside
 But (C) I've got a lot of (C7) memories
 To me (F) means more to me than gold
 And I (C) can say I'm ready lord
 (G) Any time its time to (C) go
 
 Chorus;
