This is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred-year waltz
The voices sound sad as they're singin' along
Another piece of America's lost
He rides to feed lots, clerks in the market
On weekends sellin' tobacco and beer
And 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, old 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 singin' along
Another piece of America's lost
Remington showed us how he looked on canvas
And Louis Lamour has told us his tale
Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris 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 a hundred-year waltz) they truck it to market in fifty foot rigs
(The voices sound sad as they're singin' along) they roll by his markings and don't even notice
(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 singin' along
Another piece of America's lost
This is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred-year waltz
