[Verse 1]
EMy old friend Jim
BSure did it to him
C#m ABroke his heart and left him with no reason to live
EYou told him that you loved him
Bbut you never did
C#m AWhen he found out it was too late to take back those things he said
 
ENow he's living up in Birmingham
BAt the edge of Santa Dee (?)
C#m AAnd I never understand a single thing he says to me
 
[Chorus]
E BHow many restless cowboys will you settle down
C#m AHow many broken hearts will you ride back into town
E BHow much barbed wire can one woman drag around
C#m AHow many restless cowboys will you settle down
 
[Verse 2]
EI remember that boy you dated
BLate last fall
C#m AHe was young and crazy but he was handsome and tall
EHe could deal his hand
BHe could stand his ground
C#m ANow he's living in some halfway house out on the edge of town
 
[Chorus]
E BHow many restless cowboys will you settle down
C#m AHow many broken hearts will you drive back into town
E BHow much barbed wire can one woman drag around
C#m AHow many restless cowboys will you settle down
 
[Instrumental]
E B C#m A
E B C#m A
 
[Verse 3]
EI still think of you sometimes
BWhen the moon is clear and still
C#m AI guess that I love you, I guess I always will
EBut you broke my heart like a hurricane
BBreaks a fence post at the ground
C#m AI don't rope and ride much now, I just hang around
 
[Chorus]
E BHow many restless cowboys will you settle down
C#m AHow many broken hearts will you drive back into town
E BHow much barbed wire can one woman drag around
C#m AHow many restless cowboys will you settle down
