The Cowboy and the Poet (Faster Horses) - Bobby Bare[00:00:00]

He was an old-time cowboy [00:00:10]

Don't you understand his eyes were sharp[00:00:12]

As razor blades his face was leather tan[00:00:16]

His toes were pointed inward from a-hangin'[00:00:20]

On a horse he was an old philosopher of 'cause[00:00:23]

He was so thin I swear you could have used him[00:00:29]

For a whip he had to drink a beer to keep his britches[00:00:33]

On his hips I knew I had to ask him[00:00:38]

About the mysteries of life he spit[00:00:42]

Between his boots and he replied[00:00:45]

Faster horses younger women [00:00:49]

Older whiskey more money[00:00:54]

He smiled and all his teeth were covered[00:01:02]

With tobacco stains he said [00:01:04]

It don't do men no good to pray for peace and rain [00:01:07]

Peace and rain is just a way to say prosperity [00:01:12]

And buffalo chips is all it means to me [00:01:16]

So I told him I was a poet [00:01:21]

I was lookin' for the truth I do not care for horses [00:01:24]

Whiskey women or the loot I said I was a writer [00:01:28]

And my soul was all on fire he looked at me an' he said [00:01:33]

You are a liar [00:01:37]

It's faster horses younger women [00:01:40]

Older whiskey more money[00:01:45]

Well I was disillusioned [00:01:58]

If I say the least I grabbed him by the collar[00:02:00]

And I jerked him to his feet there was something cold[00:02:05]

And shiny layin' by my head[00:02:09]

So I started to believe the things he said[00:02:12]

Well my poet days are over and I'm back to being me[00:02:17]

As I enjoy the peace and comfort of reality[00:02:22]

If my boy ever asks me what it is[00:02:27]

That I have learned I think[00:02:30]

That I will readily affirm[00:02:32]

It's faster horses younger women [00:02:36]

Older whiskey more money[00:02:41]

Faster horses younger women [00:02:46]

Older whiskey more money[00:02:51]

Faster horses younger women [00:02:56]

Older whiskey more money[00:03:01]
