Adios days in the wide open prairie
Nights on the canyon are gone
Steven is dead and Jonny got married
Me I'm here all on my ownI used to have nights on the town of Laredo
Spinning the girls cross the floor
Now I'm too old for dancing and too far gone on the whiskey
So I don't go down there no moreAdios days in the wide open prairie
Nights on the canyon are gone
Steven is dead and Jonny got married
Me I'm here all on my ownMy dad was a top hand when he was a young man
Rode for the Diamond-Bar-J
He'd push all day long from the back of his pony
Nighttime he'd gather up all his straysHe hated the cities and he cussed all the railroads
Said they would lead us to fall
Now we have street cars and the cowboy is dying
I guess he weren't too far from wrongAdios days in the wide open prairie
Nights on the canyon are gone
Steven is dead and Jonny got married
Me I'm here all on my ownAdios days in the wide open prairie
Nights on the canyon are gone
Steven is dead and Jonny got married
Me I'm here all on my ownAdios days in the wide open prairie
Nights on the canyon are gone
Steven is dead and Jonny got married
Me I'm here all on my own
