作词 : Hall | |
He was an old time cowboy | |
Don't you understand | |
His eyes were sharp as razor blades | |
His face was leather tanned | |
His toes were pointed inward | |
From a hangin' on a horse | |
He was an old | |
Philosopher of course | |
He was so thin | |
I swearYou could have used him for a whip | |
He had to drink a beer | |
To keep his breeches on his hips | |
I knew I had to ask him | |
About the mysteries of life | |
He spat between his boots | |
And he replied"It's faster horsesYounger womenOlder whiskeyMore money" | |
He smiled and all his teeth | |
Were covered with tobacco stains | |
He said, "It don't do men no goodTo pray for peace and rain""Peace and rain is justA way to say prosperityAnd buffalo chips is allThat means to me" | |
I told him | |
I was a poet | |
I was lookin' for the truth | |
I do not care for horses | |
Whiskey women or the loot | |
I said I was a writer | |
My soul was all on fire | |
He looked at me | |
And he said you are a liar"Son, it's faster horsesYounger womenOlder whiskeyMore money" | |
Well, I was disillusioned | |
If I say the least | |
I grabbed him by the collar | |
And I jerked him to his feet | |
There was somethin' cold | |
And shiny laying by my head | |
So I started to believe | |
The things he said | |
Well, my poet days're over | |
And I'm back to bein' me | |
As I enjoy the peace a | |
And comfort of reality | |
If my boy ever asks me | |
What it is that | |
I have learned | |
I think that | |
I will readily affirm"Son, it's faster horsesYounger womenOlder whiskeyMore money" | |
Faster horses | |
Younger women | |
Older whiskey | |
More money | |
Faster horses | |
Younger women | |
Older whiskey | |
More money | |
It's faster horses | |
Younger women | |
Older whiskey | |
More money |
