Припев (все вместе):
This is
the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year
waltz
The voices
sound sad as they're singing along
Another piece of America is
lostКуплет 1 (Waylon Jennings):
He rides
the feed lots,works in a market
On weekend selling tobacco and
beerHe dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't
hereКуплет 2 (Kris Kristofferson):
He
blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark
And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed
downHe stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas
And rode with the Seventh when Custer went
downКуплет 3 (Willie Nelson):
Remington showed us how he looked on canvas
And Louis Lamour told us his
taleMe and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him
And wish to God we could have ridden his
trailКуплет 4:
(spoken-Johnny Cash) and the three others sing the chorus.
The old
chisom trail is covered in concrete
They truck it to market in fifty foot
rigs
They
roll by his graveside and don't even notice
Like living and dieing was all he ever
did
