Was a cowboy I knew in south Texas

His face was burnt deep by the sun

Part history, part sage, part Mexican

He was there when Pancho Villa was young
D A G
And he'd tell you a tail of the old days

When the country was wild all around

sit out under the stars of the Milky Way
D A G
And listen while the coyotes howled and they go..

Said "this is no place for an hombre like I am

In this new world of asphault and steel"
