The Last Cowboy Song written by Garry Koehler - the Bobkatz
I grew up with the songs of the cowboys and the Rodeo
From the dusty Diamantina to roses in old El Paso
And it seems to me that the world was a better place
In the time of the cowboy we didn’t have to win the race
Are we losing our way are we losing the life that we knew?
Are we losing the spirit from which this great country grew?
The real things in life just seem to be slipping away
I think we all need to be cowboys for just one day
Because when I think of the cowboy, I think of a time long gone
A time when the line was clear between right and wrong
Well I hope that the cowboy will always ride on
That this is not the last cowboy song
I’m not into a lot of the music they’re playing these days
And I don’t sit too well with the modern computerised ways
The throwaway world designed not to last too long
Hand me a six string I’ll sing you a cowboy song
Because when I think of the cowboy, I think of a time long gone
A time when the line was clear between right and wrong
Well I hope that the cowboy will always ride on
That this is not the last cowboy song
Yeah when I think of the cowboy, I think of a time long gone
A time when the line was clear between right and wrong
Well I hope that the cowboy will always ride on
That this is not the last cowboy song
That this is not the last cowboy song
I hope that this is not the last cowboy song
