Adios days on the wide open prairie
Nights in the canyon are gone
Steven is dead, Johnny got married
Me I'm here all on my own
I'm all on my own
I used to have nights on the town of Laredo
Spinning them girls cross the floor
Now I'm too old for dancing, far gone from the whiskey
So I don't go down there no more.
*Repeat CHORUS *
My dad was a top hand when he was a young man
He rode for the Diamond-Bar-J
He'd push all day long from the back of his pony
At nighttime he'd gather the strays
Well he hated the city, cussed all the railroads
Said they would lead us to fall
Now we have street cars, and cowboys are dying
I guess he weren't too far from wrong.
*Repeat CHORUS twice *
enjoy :)
