Lyrics The Last Cowboy In Town - Chris Ledoux

The Last Cowboy In Town

In a little Texas town, at a bar by the rodeo grounds
You can see him ridin' in every Saturday night
Well, there ain’t no hitchin' post but his horse has got so old
He’d stay in front of that bar if he stayed all night
He sits on the same ol' stool, watchin' the boys play pool
Holdin' a can of Pearl beer in his calloused hand
We don’t know how old he is, he never had no wife or kids
But they say he never backed down from any man
He once had spurs that jingled, jangled
He once had girls that loved to tango
With a handsome young cowboy, so long and so tall
It’s been years but I’m sure he recalls them all
He’s never owned a suit and there’s holes in both his boots
But he don’t give a damn unless it rains
Well, he lives his life that way but he still recalls the days
When every cowboy in Texas knew his name
And holdin' up his faded jeans is a belt we’ve all seen
It’s the only thing he owns that still looks new
He just wears it Saturday night so that belt buckle still shines bright
It says, 'All Around Cowboy 42'
He once had spurs that jingled, jangled
He once had girls that loved to tango
With a handsome young cowboy, so long and so tall
It’s been years but I’m sure he recalls them all
Now, midnight he’s always stoned and most of the crowd’s gone home
And he rides his old horse to the rodeo grounds
Well, he closes his eyes and hears a million rodeo fans cheer
But he don’t know he’s the last cowboy in town
He once had spurs that jingled, jangled
He once had girls that loved to tango
With a handsome young cowboy, so long and so tall
It’s been years but I’m sure he recalls them all
He once had spurs that jingled, jangled
He once had girls that loved to tango
With a handsome young cowboy, so long and so tall
It’s been years but I’m sure he recalls them all
He once had spurs that jingled, jangled
He once had girls that loved to tango
