The Last Cowboy Song

In the style of

Ed Bruce

Lyrics

this is the last cowboy song
the end of
a hundred year waltz
the 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
the end of
a hundred year waltz
the voices sound sad
as they're singing along
another piece of america's lost
remington showed us
how he looked on canvas
and louie l'amore
has told us his tale
and willie and waylon
and me we sing about him
and wish to god
we could have ridden his trail
this is the last cowboy song
the old chisholm trail
is covered in concrete now
the end of
and they truck 'em
to market in fifty foot rigs
a hundred year waltz
the voices sound sad
oh they just blow
by his marker
as they're singing along
they never stop to read it
another piece of america's lost
like living and dying
was all he ever did
this is the last cowboy song
the end of
a hundred year waltz
the voices sound sad
as they're singing along
another piece of america's lost
this is the last cowboy song
the end of
a hundred year waltz
the voices sound sad
as they're singing along
another piece of america's lost
this is the last cowboy song
the end of
a hundred year waltz
the voices sound sad
as they're singing along
another piece of america's lost
this is the last cowboy song
