Well, I hate to watch you go my friend but I can see it in your eyes
D E A
You've got ranker broncs to ride under wilder skies
E F#m E
Aw but we sure learned a thing or two, living by the cowboy call
D E A
But the world needs more than rodeo cowboys after all
E F#m E
And there's so much I could tell you, before you ride away
D E A
Please don't forget the good times of yesterday
E F#m E
Aw and always keep your feet fast, and aw man you know the rest
D E A
But before you go I got one last request
D E A A/G# F#m
Don't sell your riggin' cause it'll be worth a lot someday
D E A
From all them broken bones you earned along the way
D E A A/G# F#m
And the times you felt like lettin' go, but you held on anyway
D E A
Don't sell your riggin', cause it's worth more than you paid
A E F#m E
Well, leave it in a box someplace or hide it under the stairs
D E A
Just stick it on a shelf, well I don't care
E F#m E
Oh, but don't go selling memories for a nickel or a dime
D E A
Cause you can't buy back these younger, wilder times
D E A A/G# F#m
So don't sell your riggin' cause it'll be worth a lot someday
D E A
From all them broken bones you earned along the way
D E A A/G# F#m
And the times you felt like lettin' go, but you held on anyway
D E A
Don't sell your riggin', cause it's worth more than you paid
D E A D
So when you can't hold on much longer just remember where you began
D E A
Cause I watched it turn a boy into a man
D E A A/G# F#m
So don't sell your riggin' cause it'll be worth a lot someday
D E A
From all them broken hearts you earned along the way
D E A A/G# F#m
And the times you felt like lettin' go, but you held on anyway
D E
Don't sell your riggin'
A
cause it's worth more than you paid
