Lyrics
"THE VERY LAST COWBOY" Wil Free
HE'S A ROCK OF A MAN
RIDIN' HIGH IN THE SADDLE
WATCHIN' HIS WORLD SLIP AWAY
THERE ARE HOUSES NOW
WHERE HE ONCE DROVE CATTLE
LOSIN' MORE OF HIS DESERT EACH DAY
HE'D LET A LONSOME CALL...EVERYTIME
ANOTHER BIG OLD CACTUS WOULD FALL
THEY WERE JUST LIKE HIM
SOFT ON THE INSIDE
PRICKLY WHISKERS ON HIS CHIN
THE WORLD WILL BE A COLDER PLACE
THE SUN WILL LOSE IT'S SHINE
NIGHT TIME WILL LOSE THE DAY
WHEN THE LAST...
THE VERY LAST COWBOY RIDES AWAY
SINCE HE WAS A YOUNG BOY
HE WOULD ANSWER THE LONESOME COYOTE'S CALL
NEVER REALIZIN' THE TIMES WOULD CHANGE
HE'D BE THE LONE ONE AFTER ALL...
THERE'S NO PLACE FOR HIM
IN THIS HURRIED UP WORLD
AS HE RIDES TO THE SUNSETS END
NO CREATURE ON GOD'S GOOD EARTH
EVER KNEW A BETTER FRIEND
THE WORLD WILL BE A COLDER PLACE
THE SUN WILL LOSE IT'S SHINE
NIGHT TIME WILL LOSE THE DAY
WHEN THE LAST...
THE VERY LAST COWBOY RIDES AWAY
WHEN THE LAST...
THE VERY LAST COWBOY RIDES AWAY
REPEAT CHORUS...
