[Intro]
Am  C  F  C
Am  C  F  C
 
 
[Verse 1]
      Am                 C
I got bucked off down in Prescott
              Am               C
And I've been driving half the night
          Am                C
Down this long and lonesome highway
            F               G
Seems there ain’t no end in sight
Am                      C            Am             C
I didn't make the short go, but if I make it to Cheyenne
         F          Am                  F                 G
There'll be another bronc to ride and I just might have a chance
 
 
[Chorus]
G         F               C
If I keep one hand in the riggin’
F               G
One hand on the wheel
          F                C
No matter how far down the road I go
        Am     G        F
There's always one more rodeo
                        C
She'd like for me to settle down
           G         F
As long as I'm still livin'
          Am       G      F                  G      C
I'll keep one hand on the wheel and one hand in the riggin'
 
 
[Interlude]
Am  C  F  C
Am  C  F  C
 
 
[Verse 2]
        Am               C
What it is that keeps me going
    Am                 C
Sometimes I just don't know
            Am                    C
For all the years that I’ve spent riding
  F                  G              Am               C
I don’t have much to show and while she waits there alone
       Am                C
Hoping I'll come back to stay
            F               Am
But there’s always one more mile to drive
      F             G
Down another lonely highway
 
 
[Chorus]
G      F               C
I keep one hand in the riggin’
F               G
One hand on the wheel
          F                C
No matter how far down the road I go
        Am     G        F
There's always one more rodeo
                        C
She'd like for me to settle down
           G         F
As long as I'm still livin'
          Am       G      F                  G      C
I'll keep one hand on the wheel and one hand in the riggin'
 
 
[Guitar Solo]
Am  C  F  C
Am  C  F G C
 
 
[Chorus]
           F               C
So I'll be one hand in the riggin'
F               G
One hand on the wheel
          F                C
No matter how far down the road I go
        Am     G        F
There's always one more rodeo
                        C
She'd like for me to settle down
           G         F
As long as I'm still livin'
          Am       G      F                  G      C
I'll keep one hand on the wheel and one hand in the riggin'
          Am       G      F
I'll keep one hand on the wheel
             G      C
And one hand in the riggin'
 
 
[Outro]
Am  C  F  C
Am  C  F G C
