 Written by Jack W. Routh and Len Pollard
 Transcribed by Ken Bennett
 
 D                             G            D
 Just a broken down cowboy all down on his luck
 G                             D
 Been through the best of his friends
 D                                G           D
 On a long lonesome highway in an old pick-up truck
        G           A         D
 Cross Texas like a hot dusty wind
 
 D                         G            D
 He was All Around Cowboy back in forty-nine
          G                        D
 >From the top it's been a long way down
 D                                       G           D
 Since the whiskey and the women started winning his time
               G        A            D
 They rode him high and hard to the ground
 
      G                     D
 He remembers the thrill of being a winner
         G                    D
 and the days of his first rodeo
          G                            D
 There's something 'bout winnin' that don't last forever
 G              D
 Maybe tomorrow things will get better
         Em                     A
 If the devil lets loose of his soul
                                  D
 He'll be the All Around Cowboy again
 
 D                             G             D
 So he rolls up a smoke and he sips his Old Crow
            G                       D
 Wipes the whiskers that cover his chin
                               G      D
 And he grins as he dreams of old rodeos
          G           A      D
 He's the All Around Cowboy again
 
 G                          D
 He remembers the thrill of being a winner
         G                    D
 and the days of his first rodeo
          G                            D
 There's something 'bout winnin' that don't last forever
 G              D
 Maybe tomorrow things will get better
         Em                     A
 If the devil lets loose of his soul
                                  D
 He'll be the All Around Cowboy again
