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