[Verse 1]
G CHey Mama, I’m so glad you called
GI just finished a load of wash and
CI’ve been feeling a little lost
G CYeah mama, I’ve been on a couple dates
GBut my phone still hasn’t rang
C DAnd I’ve been racking my brain
Em7Wondering if I came on a little strong
D GIf I’m too short if I’m too tall
GMama don’t sugarcoat it
C DTell me what’s wrong again
[Chorus]
Em D G C GWhy--y--y Do all the cowboys ride away
Em D G C DTo fi-i-ind them another heart to break
Em7 DIt’s in their nature, I can’t change them
C GThings get good so they ride off
Am7 G CIn a cloud of dust as another sunset fades
G Am7 D Em G CSo, tell me mama why all the cowboys ride away
[Verse 2]
G CHey mama, did you ever have to wonder
G CIf the one you’re thinking of is thinking of another
D Am7 G C With one boot in and one boot out the door
Am7 GOne day he swears he’ll stay
C DThe next he’s saddling up his horse
[Chorus]
Em D G C GSo, why-y-y Do all the cowboys ride away
Em D G C DTo fi-i-ind them another heart to break
Em7 DIt’s in their nature, I can’t change them
C GThings get good so they ride off
Am7 G CIn a cloud of dust as another sunset fades
G Am7 D CSo, tell me mama why all the cowboys ride away

[Bridge]
CSome of us need their space to roam
Em7Than to have and not to hold
C G DAnd I keep on letting Go hoping one day I’ll know
[Chorus]
Em D G C GWhy-y-y Do all the cowboys ride away
Em D G C DTo fi-i-ind them yet another heart to break
Em7 DAnd I’m left in pieces wondering
C GHow much more my heart can take
Am7 G CIn a cloud of dust as another sunset fades
G Am7 D Em7So, tell me mama why all the cowboys ride away
D C D Em G C D Em7 G CTell me mama why all the cowboys ride away
