Tune down 1/2 step
 
 
[Intro]
D   G   D
 
 
[Verse 1]
D                          G
Who's that old steer in my truck mirror?
Bm                                   A
One with those white whiskers on his chin
            D                Bm
Where's the time go? Hell if I know
 G               A              D
Another cowboy's come and gone again
 
 
[Chorus]
          G              D
I've seen skies climb forever
          G              A
I've seen canyons carved in stone
      G               Bm     G
Who I am, well I'm no better
                     A          D      G
Than a raindrop on a dry desert road
 
 
[Verse 2]
       D                    G
In the springtime, when the sun shines
          Bm                            A
You don't think a lot about the winter snow
         D                Bm
Then you wake up one cold mornin'
G             A              D
Feelin' every season in your bones
 
 
[Chorus]
     G                D
On a throne on saddle leather
       G           A
Ridin' outta hеre alone
           G                   Bm   G
Thought my reign would last forеver
                        A          D
But I'm a raindrop on a dry desert road
 
 
[Bridge]
    G
And all I'll leave behind me, if I get lucky
     D                      A
Is a touch of color in a cactus rose
 
 
[Outro]
     D                Bm
Come springtime for a short time
          G                  A               Bm
I'll be a tear that made the pretty flowers grow
           G             A               D    G   D
Not just a raindrop on a dry desert road
