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