Don Edwards - The Last Cowboy Song lyrics

This is the last cowboy song The end of a hundred year waltz Their voices sound sad as they're singing along Another piece of America's lost Now he rides a feed lot and clerks in a market On weekends selling tobacco and beer And his dreams of tomorrow surrounded by fences He'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here This is the last cowboy song The end of a hundred year waltz And their voices sound sad as they're singing along Another piece of America's lost Charlie Russell he showed us how he looked on canvas And Old Teddy Blue told us his tale And us old cowboy singers we sing about him And wish to God we could have ridden his trail This is the last cowboy song The end of a hundred year waltz And their voices sound sad as they're singing along Another piece of America's lost The Old Chisholm Trail is covered in concrete now And they truck 'em to market in fifty foot rigs They blow by his marker never even slowing down to read it Just like living and dying was all he did This is the last cowboy song The end of a hundred year waltz And their voices sound sad as they're singing along Another piece of America's lost This is the last cowboy song And it's the end of a hundred year waltz And their voices sound sad as they're singing along Another piece of America's lost This is the last cowboy song
