To the Last Dead Cowboy

Lyrics

I'm a careless hopeless hard drinking man Frightened by the thunder and the cold Many times you see me Out there on the land I'm a man who died a long long time ago I'm a man who died a long long time ago The trail is long But it leads everywhere Out in the desert glare I put my hat down over my eyes Hypnotized by the image on the screen Shirt so white and clean So the pistols on the side Take a trip To the widе open spaces Looking for the tracеs Of that wild friend to his car Riding out Feel the rain on our faces For the familiar places Truck stop and the mall This country starts to look and sound the same There's a singer on the radio and I don't like his name I'm a careless hopeless hard drinking man Frightened by the thunder and the cold Many times you see me Out there on the land I'm a man who died a long long time ago I'm a man who died a long long time ago We light the range Paint the town red on the weekend While the bankers and the lawyers Drive our country to the wall Four winds blow turn up my collar By a burger for a dollar It's the final cattle call I'm a careless hopeless hard drinking man Frightened by the thunder and the cold Many times you see me Out there on the land I'm a man who died a long long time ago I'm a man who died a long long time ago
