Horseback

Tune down 1/2 step 


Intro: D 


 
D 
He's a ranch hand in a pinch, man 
G                        D 
Hotter than the red on a cattle brand 
D 
'Cause she's a gold digger with a quick trigger 
  A 
A cast iron, skillet swingin', lid-flipper 
           D 
Now he's a double-wide on the county line 
G                                 D 
Sipping on a six pack of Lonestar Light 
D 
She did 'em dirty, took him to the cleaners 
        A 
Now her pockets and her pastures are greener 
A 
And he says 
 

 
D                G 
I don't miss her or her sister 
D                     A 
I don't need that old drop top Cadillac 
        D                  G 
She can keep that diamond, I ain't lyin' 
              A          D 
I just want my horse back 
 

 
D 
Now he's a buckskin, fifteen hands 
G                   D 
Five-time team rope champion 
D 
She never liked him, she don't need him 
      A 
Hell, she don't even know how to feed him 
            D 
She ain't a cowgirl, she can't stand Merle 
      G                             D 
Hell, she ain't ever two stepped or snapped pearls 
D 
So, after about a month of Jim Beam'ing 
         A 
That ol' cowboy got to schemin', sayin' 
 

 
D                G 
I don't miss her or her sister 
D                     A 
I don't need that old drop top Cadillac 
        D                  G 
She can keep that diamond, I ain't lyin' 
              A          D 
I just want my horse back  


Instrumental: 
G  D  C G D 

 
D 
So last night, around midnight 
            G                        D 
He took his lucky fence pliers and a mag light 
D 
He cut the fence out, he snuck on in 
    A 
One whistle in the wind, and that buckskin 
        D 
He came running, running right up 
           G                       D 
He had the saddle all ready, so he saddled up 
D 
Rode off like a bat out of hell and 
          A 
You could hear that cowboy yelling 
A 
Singin'  


 
D                G 
I don't miss her or her sister 
D                     A 
I don't need that old drop top Cadillac 
        D                  G 
She can keep that diamond, I ain't lyin' 
D 
I just want my 
                    F 
Yeah, I just want my 
G           D             D 
Damn, girl, I just want my horse back
