"The Last Cowboy" lyrics
Callused hands told the story of a small-town cowboy looking for glory
He fell in love with this one-way town
High-school sweetheart up'd and left while he was looking for answers she was catching her breath
He don't think she'll come back around
His name was plastered on the wall 'cause he was all-round cowboy last year in the fall
He hasn't bucked one out since then
But they always leave one in here just for him
Remembers days of the highway
White-line syndrome and bound for a driveway
Of the house of someone he knew
Ain't been rain there in years so he sold all the horses to pay for the rent
Trying to throw off brokeness with a western scent
His cowboy hat now has cobwebs and his belt buckles are a fancy room ornament
Lost without a destination, no argument
But he never let a bronc get the best of him
He said he's got one more left in him
When rodeo come to town he'll go for the winnings
Heard about this horse they got named Croc
Now crocodile was a tough pony
Jump kick and buck, not one for the phony
He made the whole damned arena rock
The draw came out around dusk, the battle of the dust, cowboy verses Croc
The people couldn't help but talk
But by nighttime it was time to walk the walk
Well, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
Your hometown cowboy has matched up with one and only Crocodile Peabush
[?]
Crocodile got the best of him, threw to the ground, no one made one damn sound
Another victim of Peabush
Put his saddle up for sale, took that job right there at the county jail
Everyone knew there was no more push
He comes to every damn show, and everyone around here
They already know
That he's the best to mark 'em out
And he never left one horse here without
Callused hands told the story of a small-town cowboy looking for glory
He fell in love with this one-way town
High-school sweetheart up'd and left while he was looking for answers she was catching her breath
He don't think she'll come back around
His name was plastered on the wall 'cause he was all-round cowboy last year in the fall
He hasn't bucked one out since then
But they always leave one in here just for him
Remembers days of the highway
White-line syndrome and bound for a driveway
Of the house of someone he knew
Ain't been rain there in years so he sold all the horses to pay for the rent
Trying to throw off brokeness with a western scent
His cowboy hat now has cobwebs and his belt buckles are a fancy room ornament
Lost without a destination, no argument
But he never let a bronc get the best of him
He said he's got one more left in him
When rodeo come to town he'll go for the winnings
Heard about this horse they got named Croc
Now crocodile was a tough pony
Jump kick and buck, not one for the phony
He made the whole damned arena rock
The draw came out around dusk, the battle of the dust, cowboy verses Croc
