"Vaquero" lyrics

You've been up in that saddle so long
The west that they said that you won
Has been lost for some time

The young man you were has grown old
The trail you've been blazing's gone cold
As the West Texas night

Too stubborn and stuck in your ways
To ever let go of those reins

So, where, oh, where, oh
Will you go, vaquero
Now, that your Cuervo's® run dry?
There ain't no more fences
That need no more mending
That ain't no more cattle to drive

The sunset you're chasing
Is changing and fading
And leaving your shadow behind
So, where, oh, where, oh
Will you go, vaquero
'Cause you're the last of your kind?

You've been thrown from your pony before
But the getting back up anymore
Is more habit than thrill

Ya' ain't ever been scared to die
But you're scared to death of being alive
While your way of life is killed

Somewhere there's a lone whippoorwill that's singing

Where, oh, where, oh
Will you go, vaquero
Now, that your Cuervo's® run dry?
There ain't no more fences
That need no more mending
There ain't no more horses to ride

The sunset you're chasing
Is changing and fading
And leaving your shadow behind
So, where, oh, where, oh
Will you go, vaquero
'Cause you're the last of your kind?

So, where, oh, where, oh
Will you go, vaquero
'Cause you're the last of your kind?
