Faster Horses (The Cowboy And The Poet) - Tom T. Hall[00:00:00]

Written by：Tom T. Hall[00:00:05]

He was an old time cowboy[00:00:08]

Don't you understand[00:00:10]

His eyes were sharp as razor blades[00:00:12]

His face was leather tanned[00:00:14]

His toes were pointed inward[00:00:17]

From a hangin' on a horse[00:00:18]

He was an old[00:00:20]

Philosopher of course[00:00:22]

He was so thin I swear[00:00:25]

You could have used him for a whip[00:00:26]

He had to drink a beer[00:00:29]

To keep his breeches on his hips[00:00:31]

I knew I had to ask him[00:00:33]

About the mysteries of life[00:00:35]

He spat between his boots[00:00:37]

And he replied[00:00:39]

It's faster horses[00:00:41]

Younger women[00:00:43]

Older whiskey[00:00:45]

More money[00:00:47]

He smiled and all his teeth[00:00:56]

Were covered with tobacco stains[00:00:58]

He said it don't do men no good[00:01:00]

To pray for peace and rain[00:01:02]

Peace and rain is just[00:01:05]

A way to say prosperity[00:01:06]

And buffalo chips is all[00:01:09]

That means to me[00:01:10]

I told him I was a poet[00:01:13]

I was lookin' for the truth[00:01:14]

I do not care for horses[00:01:17]

Whiskey women or the loot[00:01:19]

I said I was a writer[00:01:21]

My soul was all on fire[00:01:23]

He looked at me[00:01:25]

And he said you are a liar[00:01:26]

Son it's faster horses[00:01:28]

Younger women[00:01:31]

Older whiskey[00:01:33]

More money[00:01:35]

Well I was disillusioned[00:01:44]

If I say the least[00:01:46]

I grabbed him by the collar[00:01:48]

And I jerked him to his feet[00:01:50]

There was somethin' cold[00:01:52]

And shiny laying by my head[00:01:54]

So I started to believe[00:01:56]

The things he said[00:01:58]

Well my poet days're over[00:02:00]

And I'm back to bein' me[00:02:02]

As I enjoy the peace a[00:02:05]

And comfort of reality[00:02:06]

If my boy ever asks me[00:02:09]

What it is that I have learned[00:02:10]

I think that[00:02:13]

I will readily affirm[00:02:14]

Son it's faster horses[00:02:16]

Younger women[00:02:19]

Older whiskey[00:02:21]

More money[00:02:23]

Faster horses[00:02:25]

Younger women[00:02:27]

Older whiskey[00:02:29]

More money[00:02:31]

Faster horses[00:02:34]

Younger women[00:02:35]

Older whiskey[00:02:38]

More money[00:02:40]

It's faster horses[00:02:42]

Younger women[00:02:44]

Older whiskey[00:02:46]
