Last Cowboy Song Lyrics - Singles - Ed Bruce

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... 

[ guitar ] 

This is the last cowboy song...
