Buckles and Boots Ridley Bent
INTRO:G
VERSE:
[G]I was your Western National rodeo star
I had a [C]couple buckles under my belt
Well I [G]know you loved me but the fame drugged me
I [D]let you go for a spell
Well [G]you weren't the kind of woman
To stick a[C]round and watch me leave
You bought a [G]one way ticket
To [D]anywhere but close to [G]me
VERSE:
Well darlin' you must've been my good luck charm
Because the next weekend I broke my arm
Yeah I lost my chance to qualify
And I lost my will to ride
Now I wake up every morning with my
All that's left of me since I left you
Are my buckles and my boots
CHORUS:
I got [C]no one
Just an [G]empty shell
Close to the [D]man I was
You were my [C]southern belle[D]
And I spend [C]all my nights
With the cold ha[G]rd truth
All that's left of me since I left [D]you
Are my buckles and [G]my boots
VERSE:
Well I had my eight seconds of fame
But that's all just a distant dream
Now a rough stock truck stop still got my pictures up
So that's where I eat my beans
The waitress says "Hey, your wasting away"
As she puts down a free bowl of soup
All that's left of me since I left you
Are my buckles and my boots
CHORUS:
BREAK:C,G,D,C,D,C,G,D,G(chorus progression)
VERSE:
My hearts been broken into so many pieces
It looks like dust in the wind
My banks foreclosing on all of my leases
I don't have a house to live in
And I sold the shirt off my back
To buy a six pack now I don't even have that
All that's left of me since I left you
Are my buckles and my boots
CHORUS:
OUTRO:
All that's left of [G]me since I left [D]you
Are my buckles and [G]my boots
All that's left of [G]me since I left [D]you
Are my buckles and [C]my boots[G]

saying. If anyone knows let me know and I'll add it.
