Faster Horses (The Cowboy and the Poet) - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)[00:00:00]
He was an old-time cowboy don't you[00:00:08]
Understand his eyes were sharp as razor blades[00:00:11]
His face was leather tan his toes were pointed[00:00:14]
Inward from a-hangin' on a horse he was an old[00:00:18]
Philosopher of[00:00:21]
He was so thin i swear you could have used him[00:00:24]
For a whip he had to drink a beer to keep his[00:00:27]
Britches on his hips i knew i had to ask him about[00:00:31]
The mysteries of life he spit between his boots[00:00:35]
And he replied[00:00:39]
"it's faster horses younger women older whiskey [00:00:41]
And more money"[00:00:47]
He smiled and all his teeth were covered with[00:00:56]
Tobacco stains he said "it don't do men no good[00:00:58]
To pray for peace and rain peace and rain is just[00:01:02]
A way to say prosperity and buffalo chips is[00:01:05]
All it means to me "[00:01:10]
I told him i was a poet i was lookin' for[00:01:12]
The truth i do not care for horses whiskey [00:01:15]
Women or the loot i said i was a writer my[00:01:18]
Soul was all on fire he looked at me an'[00:01:22]
He said "you are a liar "[00:01:26]
"it's faster horses younger women older whiskey [00:01:28]
And more money"[00:01:34]
Well i was disillusioned if i say the least[00:01:44]
I grabbed him by the collar and i jerked him[00:01:47]
To his feet there was something cold and shiny[00:01:50]
Layin' by my head so i started to believe the[00:01:53]
Things he said[00:01:57]
Well my poet days are over and i'm back to[00:01:59]
Being me as i enjoy the peace and comfort of[00:02:03]
Reality if my boy ever asks me what it is that[00:02:07]
I have learned i think that i will readily affirm[00:02:11]
"it's faster horses younger women older whiskey [00:02:16]
And more money"[00:02:22]
"it's faster horses younger women [00:02:24]
Older whiskey and more money"[00:02:28]
"it's faster horses younger women [00:02:33]
Older whiskey and more money"[00:02:36]
"it's faster horses younger women [00:02:41]
Older whiskey[00:02:45]
