[F#] [E] [D]
This is the last cowboy song, the end of a hundred [Am] year [G] wall.
[A] The voices sound sad as they're singing along, another piece of [D] America's lull.
He
[Bm] [A] [D] rides the feedlot, clerks in a market, on weekends selling tobacco [A] and beer.
And his dreams of [Em] tomorrow, [A] surrounded by fences, but he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't [D] here.
He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark, and eyeball to eyeball, old Wyatt [A] back down.
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas, and rode with the 7th when Custer [D] went down.
This is the last cowboy song, the end of a hundred [G] year wall.
[A] The voices sound sad as they're singing along, another piece of [D] America's lull.
Remington showed us how he looked on canvas, and Louis L'Amour has told us [A] his tale.
Me and Johnny and Waylon and Chris sing about him, and wish to God we could have ridden [D] his trail.
The old chiseled trail is covered in concrete, and they truck him to market in 50 [G] foot rigs.
[A] They roll by his market and don't even notice, like living and dying is all we ever did.
[D]
This is the last [G] cowboy [D] song, the end of a hundred year [G] wall.
[A] The voices sound sad as they're singing along, another piece of America's [D] lull.
