Old Cowboy's Lament

November 9, 2024 at 9:06 AMv3.5

[Verse 1] Dust in the sunset eyes so tired Sweat on my hands but my heart's retired Young buck strollin' with a gun and pride Don't want no more blood on this land so wide [Chorus] I've seen the graves I've dug in dirt Watched young men fall before they felt love's hurt My heart's too old to leave more scars Can't find peace among the stars [Bridge] Hey there son put that gun down slow Look in my eyes there's things you don't know Wrinkles speak tales of battled years Can we end this without tears [Verse 2] Once was a time I lived for the fight But ghosts of past they haunt my nights Gone too far to remember why Can we talk before we die [Chorus] I've seen the graves I've dug in dirt Watched young men fall before they felt love's hurt My heart's too old to leave more scars Can't find peace among the stars [Bridge] Courage ain't in drawing fast It's in knowing when to let the moment pass Turn away let's both grow old Life's too short and hearts too bold [Harmonica] [Intro] [Melody starts] [Verse 3] The young gunslinger, full of pride Thought he'd take the old man's stride But wisdom's edge, and steady aim, would put an end to his reckless game. [Harmonica solo] [Chorus] I've seen the graves I've dug in dirt Watched young men fall before they felt love's hurt My heart's too old to leave more scars Can't find peace among the stars [Chorus] I've seen the graves I've dug in dirt Watched young men fall before they felt love's hurt My heart's too old to leave more scars Can't find peace among the stars [Big Finish] [Finish]
