[Verse 1]
This old MCexican cCM9/Bowboy at the Am7bar
Looked a hGundred years oCld CM9/B Am7
He had a miCllion dollar smile
CM9/BAnd his withered brown sAm7kin shimmered like CGalifornia gCold CM9/B Am7 G
He said, "I'm a lDmittle short on cash, but IG'm long on life"
"For a sDmhot of tequila, I'll give you some dGang good advice"
[Chorus 1]
He said, "DFon't leave your bGeer in the hCot Texas sun"
"Don't aFrgue with a wGoman while she's hAmolding a gun"
"Never chFeat when it cGomes to love Cor dominFoes"
"VDmaya con dios" said the Gold vaquerCo F C F
[Verse 2]
Well my heCart sank
TheCM9/B more he drank, the Am7more he poured out hGis miserCy CM9/B Am7
How he lCost her after CM9/Bforty seven years
Am7And his tears started flGowing like the Rio GraCnd-CM9/Be Am7 G
He started spDmeaking in Spanish then he kGissed his rosary
Said "Por siDmempre mi amor", his one mGore to her memory
[Chorus 2]
He said, "DFon't live you lGife like a sCad country song"
"A foFol on a stGool is still a sAmtool, right or wrong"
"Pride Fis a bandGito breaking heCarts as he gFoes"
"DmVaya con dios" said the oGld vaquerCo
[Verse 3]
I walked oAmver to the corner, turned the oEmld jukebox on
When I tFurned back around like a gFmhost he was gone
So CI paid hisCM9/B tab, called a Am7cab, called it a niGght
And came straight home to yCou CM9/B Am7 G
As we laid tChere in bed I CM9/Btold you all the thiAm7ngs he said
We laugGhed, we cried, and I hCeld you the CM9/Bwhole night throughAm7 G
You know I thDmink of him often, out thGere all alone
MDmaybe he was an angel,G or just an old man from San Anton
[Chorus 1]
He said, "DFon't leave your bGeer in the hCot Texas sun"
"Don't aFrgue with a woGman while she's hoAmlding a gun"
"Never chFeat when it cGomes to love Cor dominoFes"
"VDmaya con diGos"
[Chorus 2]
He said, "DFon't live you lGife like a sCad country song"
"A fFool on a stGool is still a stAmool, right or wrong"
"Pride iFs a bandGito breaking heCarts as he gFoes"
"VDmaya con dioGs"
He said, "VDmaya con dGios"
