"The Last Of The Sunshine Cowboys" lyrics

His boots were all dusty his pickup all rusty
His old hat was battered and stained
Like me and the others we pulled up the covers
Skipping that west Texas rain

Rode the rodeo circuit well he's too old to work it
When he dropped them started to roam
He's living old stories of cowboys past glories
Back of that truck was his home

He's the last of the sunshine cowboys
He's the last of a vanishing breed
He's the last of the cowboy drifter
He's the last of the tumbling weed

With an old Martin guitar on the fender of my car
This song drifted back through his life
Two old friends in Cow Town with ladies in long gowns
His girl friends his women his wife

One friend to confide in that old dog beside him
He fought back the tears when he said
There used to be others we were all just like brothers
But now most of my friends are dead

He's the last of the sunshine cowboys
He's the last of a vanishing breed
He's the last of the cowboy drifter
He's the last of the tumbling weed

He's the last of the sunshine cowboys
He's the last of a vanishing breed
He's the last of the cowboy drifter
He's the last of the tumbling weed
