Faster Horses (The Cowboy Poet - Tom T.Hall[00:00:00]
Written by:Tom T.Hall[00:00:01]
He was an old time cowboy don't you understand[00:00:08]
His eyes were sharp as razor blades his face was leather tan[00:00:13]
His toes were pointed inward from a hanging on a horse[00:00:17]
He was an old philosopher of course[00:00:21]
He was so thin I swear you could have used him for a whip[00:00:25]
He had to drink a beer to keep his britches on his hips[00:00:29]
I knew I had to ask him about the mysteries of life[00:00:33]
He spit between his boots and he replied[00:00:37]
It's faster horses younger women[00:00:41]
Older whiskey and more money[00:00:45]
He smiled and all his teeth were covered with tobacco stains[00:00:56]
He said it don't do men no good to pray for peace and rain[00:01:01]
Peace and rain is just a way to say prosperity[00:01:05]
And buffalo chips is all it means to me[00:01:09]
I told him I was a poet I was looking for the truth[00:01:13]
I do not care for horses whiskey women or the loot[00:01:17]
I said I was a writer my soul was all on fire[00:01:21]
He looked at me and he said you are a liar[00:01:25]
Sunny faster horses younger women[00:01:28]
Older whiskey and more money[00:01:33]
Well I was disillusioned if I say the least[00:01:44]
I grabbed him by the collar and I jerked him to his feet[00:01:48]
There was something cold and shiny laying by my head[00:01:53]
So I started to believe the things he said[00:01:56]
Well my poet days are over and I'm back to being me[00:02:00]
As I enjoy the peace and comfort of reality[00:02:05]
If my boy ever asks me what it is that I have learned[00:02:09]
I think that I will readily affirm[00:02:13]
Sunny faster horses younger women[00:02:16]
Older whiskey and more money[00:02:21]
Faster horses younger women[00:02:25]
Older whiskey and more money[00:02:29]
Faster horses younger women[00:02:34]
Older whiskey and more money[00:02:38]
Faster horses younger women[00:02:42]
Older whiskey and more money[00:02:46]
