[Verse 1]
E C#m
My head is aching, and I'm late for work
A B7
There's a girl in the kitchen, and she's wearing my shirt
E C#m
My buddies are home again, they're threatening to leave
A B7 E
Yes that beer on my nightstand will be breakfast for me
[Chorus]
E A E
Cause that's how it goes with cowboys and friends
C#m A E
As soon as it's over, it all starts again
A
That's the way that it should be
B7 C#m A
Cause that's the way that it's been
A B7
Yeah the fun never ends, when the party begins
E
Cowboys and friends
[Verse 2]
E C#m
I've been working all morning, just busting my back
A B7
And it's all for a foreman who doesn't know jack
E C#m
My buddies keep talking, they say we're going out late
A B7 E
Guess that sleep that I'm wanting will just have to wait
[Chorus]
[Outro]
A B7
Yeah the party begins where this two lane road ends
E
Cowboys and friends
