He Gm7was an old time cowboy, Gdon't you understand? His eyes were sharp as razor blades, is face was
leather tanned.
His Ctoes were pointed inward from a Ghangin' on a horse, he was an old Dphilosopher, of Gcourse.

GHe was so thin, I swear, you could have used him for a whip.
He had to drink a beer to keep his breeches on his hips.
I Cknew I had to ask him about the Gmysteries of life. He spit between his Dboots and he Greplied.

GSon, it's faster horses, younger Cwomen, older Dwhiskey, more Gmoney.

Well, my Gpoet days are over and I'm back to bein' me. As I enjoy the peace and comfort of reality. If Cmy boy ever asks me what it Gis that I have learned. I Gm7think that I will Dreadily Gaffirm.
CHORUS:
GSon, it's faster horses, younger Cwomen, older Dwhiskey, more Gmoney.
