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