Lyrics

Cowboy Song
© Ed Verner 2011

He still wears his cowboy hat
He still goes just where he pleases
He still likes them old cheap bars
He don't change like you and me

He still works a horse and saddle
He still carries a gun
But if the hard times came upon me
Of all I'd call he'd be the one

But he don't have a telephone
He's on his farm all alone
And the ladies think he's crazy
'Cause he don't like small talk
He don't talk much at all

He still wears his wedding band
Though his wife's been dead now thirty years
He still carries that reminder
Of the one who shared his tears

Every now and then I see him
Cashin' crops in the Fall
He's from that fading breed of cowboys
They're what made this country tall

But he don't have a telephone
He's on his farm all alone
And the ladies think he's crazy
'Cause he don't like small talk
He don't talk much at all
