Intro
F Gm A# F
[Verse]
Gm
Readin' old westerns with them white and black Stetson's
A# F
They made it real simple to tell bad from good
Gm
It seems people these days are wearin' all kinds of grey
A# F
I miss them old dusters 'cause I knew where I stood
[Chorus]
A# Gm Dm F
You can't count anymore on Louis L'Amour to paint you the lay of the land
A# Gm Dm F
And tell you who's on your side stride for stride and who's gonna ride for the brand
[Verse 2]
Gm A# F
But don't get me wrong, there was a lot going on back in them wild lawless days
Gm
Not every gunfight was won by the good guys
A# F
And one person's outlaw was another man's saint
[Pre Chorus]
N.C#
But still
[Chorus]
A# Gm Dm F
You can't count anymore on Louis L'Amour to show you the lay of the land
A# Gm Dm F
Tell you who's on your side stride for stride and who's gonna ride for the brand
[Break]
F Gm A# F
[Verse 3]
Gm
That old Russle hangs in a busted up frame
A# F
In a tire shop off the highway out past Coeur d'Alene
Gm A# F
A# young mother cries as she searches the eyes of a son who's known nothin' but desperate pain
[Outro]
Gm A# F
A# young mother cries as she searches the skies for a time before meth hit our great western range
