[00:02.050]
[00:05.980]He was Tougher Than Leather
[00:08.110]
[00:09.100]And he didn＇t care whether
[00:11.850]The sun shined or not
[00:13.240]
[00:17.690]When a young kid from Cow Town
[00:19.510]
[00:21.130]Wanted a showdown
[00:21.880]
[00:23.250]And he was careless or just maybe forgot
[00:26.980]
[00:29.350]But he died in the gunfight
[00:31.110]
[00:32.360]Blinded by sunlight:
[00:33.860]
[00:35.040]Never draw when you＇re facin＇ the sun
[00:37.850]
[00:40.540]And old Tougher Than Leather
[00:42.360]
[00:43.800]Just carved one more notch on his gun
[00:46.660]
[00:49.810]And when he turned to go
[00:53.200]
[00:55.390]The beautiful maiden knelt down
[00:58.710]
[00:59.470]Where her dead sweetheart lay
[01:01.840]
[01:05.180]And on his breast  placed a rose
[01:07.610]
[01:09.320]While the townspeople stared in dismay
[01:13.520]
[01:18.220]And old Tougher Than Leather
[01:19.850]
[01:21.530]Should＇ve known better
[01:22.720]
[01:24.210]But he picked up the rose in his hand
[01:27.020]
[01:29.900]And the townspeople froze
[01:31.330]
[01:32.160]When his hands crushed the rose
[01:34.340]
[01:35.720]And the rose petals fell in the sand
[01:38.900]
[01:43.890]And old Tougher Than Leather
[01:45.710]
[01:46.820]Was a full-time go-getter
[01:48.610]
[01:49.800]The grass never grew beneath his feet
[01:52.790]
[01:54.980]From one town to another
[01:58.090]He would ride like the wind
[02:00.090]
[02:01.340]But his mind kept going back to the street
[02:04.290]
[02:06.980]Where a young cowboy died
[02:08.720]
[02:09.910]And a young maiden cried
[02:11.660]
[02:12.780]And rose petals fell in the sand
[02:15.900]
[02:18.200]And his heart had been softened
[02:20.900]By the beautiful maid
[02:23.090]
[02:24.270]And he knew he must see her again
[02:27.830]
[02:32.460]Well he went back to the town
[02:34.330]
[02:35.640]Where it all had come down
[02:37.470]
[02:38.410]And he searched but his search was in vain
[02:41.400]
[02:44.160]He had wanted to find her
[02:46.910]And say he was sorry
[02:48.860]
[02:49.990]For causing her heart so much pain
[02:53.240]
[02:55.750]But one night he died
[02:57.380]
[02:58.510]From a poison inside
[03:00.120]
[03:01.370]Brought on by the wrong he had done
[03:04.680]
[03:06.800]And old Tougher Than Leather
[03:08.930]
[03:09.490]Had carved his last notch on his gun
[03:13.360]
[03:18.220]Well he was burried in Cow Town
[03:20.220]
[03:21.530]Along about sundown
[03:22.790]
[03:23.850]Lookin＇ good in his new store-bought clothes
[03:27.470]
[03:29.660]When the young maiden came over
[03:31.840]
[03:32.400]And knelt down beside him
[03:34.460]
[03:35.400]And on his lapel placed a rose
[03:38.960]
[03:41.950]There＇s a bird in the sky
[03:44.130]
[03:47.500]Flying high  flying high
[03:51.070]
[03:53.650]To a place from a place
[03:55.540]
[03:58.550]Changing skies  changing skies
