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