Verse
D#
He rides a feed lot and clerks in a market
A#
On weekends selling tobacco and beer
A#
His dreams of tomorrow surrounded by fences
D#
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here
D#
He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark
A#
And eyeball to eyeball Ol' Wyatt backed down
A#
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas
D#
And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down
[Chorus]
D#
This is the last cowboy song
G#
The end of a hundred year waltz
A#
Voices sound sad as they're singing along
D#
Another piece of America's lost
[Verse 2]
D#
Remington showed us how he looked on canvas
A#
And Louis L'Amour has told us his tale
A#
And Willie and Waylon and me sing about him
D#
And wish to God we could have ridden his trail
[Bridge]
D#
The Old Chisholm Trail is covered in concrete now
G#
And they truck 'em to market in fifty foot rigs
A#
They just blow by his market never slowing to reason
D#
Like living and dying was all he did
[Chorus]
D#
This is the last cowboy song
G#
The end of a hundred year waltz
A#
Voices sound sad as they're singing along
D#
Another piece of America's lost
[Outro]
D# G# D#
This is the last cowboy song
