None of them
THE RUT
As recorded by Turnpike Troubadours
(From the 2023 Album A CAT IN THE RAIN)
Intro
Em G D Am Em G C
Verse 1
Em G D Am
Early fall descended on the dry back country Aspens
Em G C
It could be any time now that the bulls start bugling
Em G D Am
I watched the pack mule panniers, see the loads are riding even
Em G Am
Is it in my mind or did I finally hear one sing?
Verse 2
Em G D Am
It's been ten years since I first came to the mountains with my father
Em G C
A half pint in each saddle bag and stars in both my eyes
Em G D Am
I don't miss the taste of liquor or really anything about it
Em G Am
But the temporary shelter was a welcome compromise
Chorus
C G D Am
Oh friend, I'm gonna ride out of the rut I'm in
G C G Am
A little elevation and an open-ended prayer
C G D Am
Holdin' out for more than breakin' even
C G D Am C
I've come back to the mountains and they're all still standin' there
Guitar Solo
Em G D Am Em
G C
Verse 3
Em G D Am
The bull had come in tight and he was screamin' in dark timber
Em G C
I could see his brown eyes movin', hear him breathin' as he wheeled
Em G D Am
But tomorrow full of promise, I just lived there in the moment
Em G Am
Hunted back toward camp for enough grouse to make a meal
Chorus
C G D Am
Oh friend, I'm gonna ride out of the rut I'm in
G C G Am
A little elevation and an open-ended prayer
C G D Am
Holdin' out for more than breakin' even
C G D Am C
I've come back to the mountains and they're all still standin' there
Guitar Solo
Em G D Am Em G C
Em G D Am Em G Am
Chorus
C G D Am
Oh friend, I'm gonna ride out of the rut I'm in
G C G Am
A little elevation and an open-ended prayer
C G D Am
Holdin' out for more than breakin' even
C G D Am C
I've come back to the mountains and they're all still standin' there
