performed by Waylon Jennings
Kris Kristofferson
Johnny Cash
Willie Nelson
Chorus (all together):
This is thDe last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year waltz G
The voices soAund sad as they're singing along
Another piece of America is lost D
Verse 1:(Waylon Jennings)
He rides thDe feed lots,works in a market
On weekend selling tobacco and beer A
He dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here D
Verse 2:(Kris Kristofferson)
He blazed Dthe trail with Lewis and Clark
And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed down A
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas
And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down D
Chorus.
Verse 3:(Willie Nelson)
Remington Dshowed us how he looked on canvas
And Louis Lamour told us his tale A
Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him
And wish to God we could have ridden his trail D
Verse 4:(spoken-Johnny Cash) and the three others sing the chorus.
The old chDisom trail is covered in concrete
They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs G
They roll Aby his graveside and don't even notice
Like living and dieing was all he ever did D
Chorus.
Thanks to David M. Potter for the lyrics.
