F
There's a difference
                   C                  G
In the Wild, Wild West and a Podunk town
           F
There's a difference
                C                        G
In a ramblin' man and a boy that's just runnin' around


[Pre-Chorus]
          Am                     G
You ain't ridin' in the sunset, boy you're just jettin'
      F                    Dm
In a Tennessee hat acting like it's a Stetson


[Chorus]
                  C
But you ain't a cowboy
                   G
When cowboys head out, boy
                 Dm
They turn back around, boy

Settle down, boy
      F                      G
Come home to the woman they love
                         C
You ain't nothing like George Strait
                     G
His kind don't just ride away
                      Dm
Lonely, lost on some highway

Tryna play
        F                         G
Like you've got some old smoking gun
                  C
But you ain't a cowboy


[Verse]
                     F
You think you're an outlaw
                          C                        G
'Cause you stay out real late always stirring up trouble
                 F
But you didn't fool me
                     C                            G
In your dirty, old Wranglers and your shiny gold buckle


[Pre-Chorus]
               Am                      G
You're still shooting back shots guess I dodged a bullet
   F                             Dm
I love you's a trigger couldn't make yourself pull it


[Chorus]
                  C
But you ain't a cowboy
                   G
When cowboys head out, boy
                 Dm
They turn back around, boy

Settle down, boy
      F                      G
Come home to the woman they love
                         C
You ain't nothing like George Strait
                     G
His kind don't just ride away
                      Dm
Lonely, lost on some highway

Tryna play
        F                         G
Like you've got some old smoking gun
                  C
But you ain't a cowboy
              G
You ain't a cowboy
             Dm
You ain't a cowboy
          F   G
No, you ain't


[Bridge]
           Dm                                           F
There's a difference in stumbling out and a tumbleweed rolling
          Dm                                     G
There's a difference in just acting out and rodeoing


[Chorus]
                  C
But you ain't a cowboy
                   G
When cowboys head out, boy
                 Dm
They turn back around, boy

Settle down, boy
      F                      G
Come home to the woman they love
                         C
You ain't nothing like George Strait
                     G
His kind don't just ride away
                      Dm
Lonely, lost on some highway

Tryna play
        F                         G
Like you've got some old smoking gun
                  C
But you ain't a cowboy
              G
You ain't a cowboy
             Dm
You ain't a cowboy
            F   G
No, no you ain't
              C
You ain't a cowboy
