This is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year walk
Another piece of America's lost
and he clerks in a market
On weekends selling tobacco and beer
An d his dreams of tomorrow
This is the last cowboy song
It's the end of a hundred -year waltz
And their voices sound sad
Another piece of America's loss
Charlie Russell, he showed us
And old Teddy Blue told us his tale
And us old cowboy singers,
This is the last cowboy song.
It's the end of a hundred -year walk.
And their voices sound sad
as they're singing along.
Another piece of America's lost
You know now the old Chisholm Trail's
And they truck them to market now
and they never even slow down to reason
Just like livin' and dyin' is all he ever did
This is the last cowboy song
It's the end of a hundred year waltz
And their voices sound sad
