G D But I'm hooked in and I got to ride that train. G When I get down in that chute, C I can't keep from thinkin' about all that loot, D I'm a ro-do-o de-o de-o cowboy G Bordering on the insane. CHORUS G C That's why I drink a cheeseburger, eat a six-pack G Take a Darvon to kill the pain. D Pay thirty-two fifty just to take a fall, C I live through it to tell you 'bout it all. D I'm a ro-de-o de-o de-o de cowboy G Bordering on the insane. verse 2 Now, relax and take a deep breath or two It's a one time shot and then you're through Hang on, boy, and someday you'll have fame. When they open up that gate The bull takes off like a runaway freight And you're a ro-de-o de-o de-o de cowboy Bordering on the insane. chorus 2 That's why I eat a cheeseburger, drink a six-pack Take a Darvon to kill the pain Pay thirty-two fifty just to take a fall I live through it just to talk about it all I'm a ro-de-o de-o de-o de cowboy Bordering on the insane. verse 3 The cobwebs sure are thick, what's goin' on? I feel like all my circuits are blown. I can't remember my number or name. Gimme a beer or two and I'll feel fine, 'Least it's worked ev'ry other time Cuz I'm a ro-de-o de-o de-o de cowboy Bordering on the insane. repeat chorus 2
