Chorus all together
This D is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year G waltz
The A voices sound sad as they're singing along
Another piece of America is D lost
Verse 1Waylon Jennings
He D rides the feed lots,works in a market
On weekend selling tobacco and A beer
He dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't D here
Verse 2Kris Kristofferson
He D blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark
And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed A down
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas
And rode with the Seventh when Custer went D down
Chorus
This D is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year G waltz
The A voices sound sad as they're singing along
Another piece of America is D lost
Verse 3Willie Nelson
RemDington showed us how he looked on canvas
And Louis Lamour told us his A tale
Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him
And wish to God we could have ridden his D trail
Verse 4spoken-Johnny Cash and the three others sing the chorus.
The D old chisom trail is covered in concrete
They truck it to market in fifty foot G rigs
They A roll by his graveside and don't even notice
Like living and dieing was all he ever D did
Chorus
This D is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year G waltz
The A voices sound sad as they're singing along
Another piece of America is D lost
