The Last Cowboy Song |
| This is the last cowboy song the end of a hundred year waltz |
| Voices sound sad as they’re singing along another piece of America’s lost |
| He rides a feed lot and clerks in a market on weekends selling tobacco and beer |
| His dreams of tomorrow surrounded by fences |
| But he’ll dream tonight of when fences weren’t here |
| He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark |
| And eyeball to eyeball Ol' Wyatt backed down |
| He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas |
| And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down |
| This is the last cowboy song… |
| Remington showed us how he looked on canvas |
| And Louie L’Amore has told us his tale |
| And Willie and Waylon and me sing about him |
| And wish to God we could have ridden his trail |
| The Old Chisholm Trail is covered in concrete now |
| And they truck 'em to market in fifty foot rigs |
| They blow by his market never slowing to reason |
| Like living and dying was all he did |
| This is the last cowboy song… |
| This is the last cowboy song… |
| This is the last cowboy song… |
