Artist/Band: Waylon Jennings
Lyrics for Song: The Last Cowboy Song
Lyrics for Album: Legendary Outlaws (Willie & Waylon) [Madacy Record [2003]



(Ed Bruce - Ron Peterson)



This is the last cowboy song

The end of a hundred year waltz

The music is sad as they're singing along

Another piece of America's lost.



He rides a feed lot and clerks in a market

On weekends selling tobacco and beer

His days're spent surrounded by fences

But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here.



The Old Chisholm Trail is covered by concrete

They truck 'em to market in fifty foot rigs

They blow by his market never slowing to reason

Like living and dying was all he did.



This is the last cowboy song

The end of a hundred year waltz

The music is sad as they're singing along

Another piece of America's lost.



This is the last cowboy song

The end of a hundred year waltz

The music is sad as they're singing along

Another piece of America's lost.



This is the last cowboy song...
