El Western Motel - Chris Wall[00:00:00]

Down at the old El Western Motel[00:00:09]

There's a sturdy old cowboy in room number 12[00:00:14]

Since the ranches closed down[00:00:19]

It's all shot to hell[00:00:21]

Forced to move into town[00:00:24]

El Western Motel[00:00:26]

40 hard years he rode for the brand[00:00:32]

Ridin' and ropin' a top heir hand[00:00:38]

Hit off with a handshake from a smug lonely man[00:00:42]

Thanks for 40 hard years[00:00:47]

That you rode for the brand[00:00:50]

They gave him a week to pack up and go[00:00:55]

In 22 minutes he was off down the road[00:01:01]

Everything that he owned in an old flatbed Ford[00:01:05]

40 years gathers in a 2-54[00:01:11]

And he once reeked of whiskey[00:01:18]

And horse flesh and danger[00:01:20]

Now he's a stranger in this little town[00:01:23]

Tonight in his dreams he'll pack up and ride[00:01:27]

Through the summer of life upon the divide[00:01:32]

Just down the road there's a silver spur bar[00:01:41]

Stretch of the legs not very far[00:01:46]

Every night at the very same barstool he sits[00:01:50]

Keeps to himself he smiles and he tips[00:01:56]

Now and then in this tavern[00:02:03]

There's some drunken fool[00:02:05]

Who feels free to join him pulls up the stool[00:02:09]

His eyes they glance over[00:02:13]

He ain't drunk he's just bored[00:02:15]

There's no joker story that he ain't heard before[00:02:19]

And he once reeked of whiskey[00:02:26]

And horse flesh and danger[00:02:29]

Now he's a stranger in this little town[00:02:31]

Tonight in his dreams he'll pack up and ride[00:02:35]

Through the summer of life upon the divide[00:02:41]

Cowboy at Christmas brings a rodeo crowd[00:02:49]

They're young and they're pretty[00:02:54]

And they're pretty damn loud[00:02:56]

His eyes play a trick so quick he's not sure[00:02:58]

A young barrel racer that reminds him of her[00:03:04]

In the side him's the young man[00:03:11]

That's yearning the lance[00:03:14]

Buy her a drink and ask her to dance[00:03:17]

He'll be danged if he'll play the old fool cliché[00:03:21]

Their eyes almost meet and his jerck away[00:03:27]

And he once reeked of whiskey[00:03:35]

And horse flesh and danger[00:03:37]

Now he's a stranger in this little town[00:03:39]

Tonight in his dreams he'll pack up and ride[00:03:43]

Through the summer of life upon the divide[00:03:49]

The maid is knockin' with clean towels[00:03:57]

And fresh sheets[00:04:00]

The guy down in 12 ain't been seen in a week[00:04:02]

The desk clerk he comes and he uses his key[00:04:07]

Finds him dead on the bed John Wayne on TV[00:04:12]

The good will they came to sort through his stuff[00:04:20]

A buckle a saddle and a Winchester pump[00:04:25]

Picture of a girl once with the car[00:04:30]

Take back together and two purple hearts[00:04:35]

Down at the spur came the word that he passed[00:04:43]

And his bar room buddies all hoisted a glass[00:04:49]

In voice raised a toast with the deepest regret[00:04:52]

Now he's only remembered by those triumphal bids[00:04:58]

And he once reeked of whiskey[00:05:02]

And horse flesh and danger[00:05:05]

And he died a stranger in this little town[00:05:07]

Tonight in his dreams he'll pack up and ride[00:05:12]

Through the summer of life upon the divide[00:05:17]

Through the summer of life upon the divide[00:05:22]

Down at the old El Western Motel[00:05:30]
