Chorus (all together):
DThis is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year waltz
AThe voices sound sad as they're singing along
DAnother piece of America is lost
Verse 1:(Waylon Jennings)
DHe rides the feed lots,works in a market
AOn weekend selling tobacco and beer
He dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences
DBut he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here
Verse 2:(Kris Kristofferson)
He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark
AAnd eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed down
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas
And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down
Verse 3:(Willie Nelson)
Remington showed us how he looked on canvas
AAnd Louis Lamour told us his tale
Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him
And wish to God we could have ridden his trail
Verse 4:(spoken-Johnny Cash) and the three others sing the chorus.
DThe old chisom trail is covered in concrete
They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs
AThey roll by his graveside and don't even notice
DLike living and dieing was all he ever did
