Lyrics
It came from the west where the prairie sun sets
And it echoed into the canyon
Pass tumble weeds, down the ravine
And it rides on the back of a stallion
In a dusty saloon, the piano out of tune
You lay your six shooter down
No damsel to save, you’re a tired cliché
Whistling through a lonesome ghost town
It’s a sad sad cowboy song, and nobody wants to sing along
You’ll never bite the dust only die standin' up
A legend who’s quick on the draw
You walk twenty paces turn around with guns blazin'
You’re a myth, not a legend at all
It’s a sad sad cowboy song, and nobody wants to sing along
It’s a sad sad cowboy song, yer glory days have come and gone
All dressed in white with God on your side
You will be one of the damned
No Heaven or Hell just the end of the trail
In this here stolen land
It’s a sad sad cowboy song, and nobody wants to sing along
It’s a sad sad cowboy song, yer glory days have come and gone
