he was such a great song writer. even if you are a sissy middle class city pansy like me, listening to his songs made you feel like you were a real cowboy, a scruffy but honest trucker, or a real man. he made me want to pick up a knife and get in a dirty street fight, then the next minute hug and love someone. he taught us things no other musician could, or probably ever will. he taught us the harsh realities of real life but also showed us much of the beauty that exists in real every day life. he was our generation's grandpa.
i know he's with his wife and the Duke John Wayne off somewhere laughin it up and playing around the campfire right now. and tomorrow, he'll get up on his horse and ride off across the sky searching for the devil's herd.
Cowboy remembers the old trails we rode and he's back in the saddle tonight
This time I'm lettin' the homefires burn out and I'm leavin' when I blow out his light
Cause I still remember good waterin' holes and the places that are open and wide
And I have decied he won't put me down a filly should be free for horsin' around
And I will no longer be hobbled and tied this is my cowboy's last ride
Oh I hate to see him go...
This is my cowboy's last ride
