Chords in this song3
Intro
Chorus
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's lost
Verse 1
He rides the feed lots, clerks in a market
On weekends selling tobacco and beer
And his dreams of tomorrow, surrounded by fences
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here
Verse 2
He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark
And 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
Chorus
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's lost
Verse 3
Remington showed us how he looked on canvas
And Louis L'Amour has 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
The old Chisholm Trail is covered in concrete now
And they truck 'em to market in fifty-foot rigs
They roll by his marker and don't even notice
Like living and dying was all he ever did
Chorus
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's lost
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's lost
