We were sittin' down at the boot shop, sippin' coffee in a styrofoam cup

Dreamin about the glory days, from days gone by

Of Tuscon and Calgary, the cow palace and the MSG

Well he's a hero of mine you see, damn sure more cowboy than i'll ever be
E D
You can see he's still got that faraway look in his eye
G D C G
When he looks back through the years it's funny how time seems to dissapear
E D
He's a true western original, the last of a breed
C G D G
You can see those faded memories, hangin' on the wall

I tried to picture how it was back then through the dust on an 8x10

50 years of freedom trapped inside a frame
G D C G
Back when the chutes were made of wood, the men were steel and the broncs were good
E D
Oh how I wish some things had never changed
C G D G
When I see those faded memories, hangin' on the wall
C G D G
And hear about ol' Kaycee, and the fourth up in Saint Paul
