Chorus: D# This is the last cowboy song G# The end of a hundred year waltz A# The voices sound sad as theyʼre singing along D# Another piece of America is lost D# He rides the feed lots,works in a market A# On weekend selling tobacco and beer He dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences D# But heʼll dream tonight of when fences werenʼt here D# He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark A# And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed down He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas D# And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down Chorus. D# Remington showed us how he looked on canvas A# And Louis Lamour told us his tale Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him D# And wish to God we could have ridden his trail D# The old chisom trail is covered in concrete G# They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs A# They roll by his graveside and donʼt even notice D# Like living and dieing was all he ever did Chorus.
