Last Cowboy Song
This is the last cowboy song The end of a hundred-year waltz The voices are sad as they're singing along Another piece of America's lost
He rides the feedlot 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 a trail with Lewis and Clark And eyeball to eyeball, old Wyatt backed down He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas And rode with the 7th when Custer went down
This is the last cowboy song The end of a hundred-year waltz The voices are sad as they're singing along Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Another piece of America's lost
Remington showed us how he looked on canvas And Louis Lamour has told us his tale Waylon and Willie and me sing about him And wish to God we could have ridden his trail
This is the last cowboy song (The old Chisolm trail is covered in concrete now) The end of a hundred-year waltz (They drive 'em to market in fifty foot rigs) The voices are sad as they're singing along (They roll by his marker not slowin' to read it) Another piece of America's lost (Like livin' and dyin' was all that he did)
