Ed Bruce Last Cowboy Song Lyrics

Last Cowboy Song Lyrics

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...
