bobby bare - the cowboy and the poet (faster horses) كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
he was an old time cowboy, don’t you understand
his eyes were sharp as razor blades, his face was leather_tanned
his toes were pointed inward from a_hangin’ on a horse
he was an old philosopher, of course
he was so thin i swear you could have used him for a whip
he had to drink a beer to keep his britches on his hips
i knew i had to ask him about the mysteries of life
he spit between his boots and he replied

[chorus]
“faster horses
younger women
older whiskey
more money”

[verse 2]
he smiled and all his t__th were covered with tobacco stains
he said, “it don’t do men no good to pray for peace and rain
peace and rain is just a way to say prosperity
and buffalo chips is all that means to me”
so i told him i was a poet, i was lookin’ for the truth
i do not care for horses, whiskey, women or the loot
i said i was a writer, my soul was all on fire
he looked at me and he said, “you are a liar”
[chorus]
“it’s faster horses
younger women
older whiskey
more money”

[verse 3]
well, i was disillusioned, if i say the least
i grabbed him by the collar and i jerked him to his feet
and there was somethin’ cold and shiny laying by my head
so i started to believe the things he said
well, my poet days are over and i’m back to bein’ me
as i enjoy the peace and comfort of reality
if my boy ever asks me what it is that i have learned
i think that i will readily affirm

[chorus]
“son, it’s faster horses
younger women
older whiskey
more money”
