Lyrics
Last Midnight Cowboy
B Carbol
V1 See them pushin colored stallions
movin down I5
belchin smoke their barrels white they
fight the traffic through the night
Rusty, Blue and Danno Boy
No one knows the names
of the countess men who've come and gone and
played those truckers games cause they're
C1 Riding on the wings of some
forgotten fantasy till a
corner or a hill comes a little too fast and
another Cowboy is free - there
ain't no way to play and win but they
know they'll always try - cause once
movin on gets in your blood, it will
burn a big hole deep in your gut that
not much else will fill
Now the Ol' Cog Grinder, was a Midnight Cowboy
and he'll always be one - He
had a little lady that he married named Sadie but
Sadie couldn't stand livin alone - The
kids are in school she called him a fool she says
the kids they don't even know ya - It's like
whisky in YOUR brain, BUT its drivin ME insaine I don't
want to but ya know I'm gonna leave ya - Cause your
C2 Riding on the wings of some
forgotten fantasy till a
corner or a hill comes a little too fast and
another Cowboy is free - there
ain't no way to play and win but they
know they'll always try - cause once
movin on gets in your blood, it will
burn a big hole deep in your gut that
not much else will fill
Lead - 16 Bars
And he's
C3 Riding on the wings of some
forgotten fantasy till a
corner or a hill comes a little too fast and
another Cowboy is free - there
ain't no way to play and win but they
know they'll always try - cause once
movin on gets in your blood, it will
burn a big hole deep in your gut that
not much else will fill
V3, Nobody knows what it's
like to get old in the seat of the Kenny your drivin, but the
man at the wheel, who's got the
feel for the road and a
lot of memories left behind him - but he's
burned all his bridges and what's
left are the wishes
of the ways he thinks things should have gone
but he knows that its done ya can't
stop what's begun and there's
still alot of whiteline before him Cause he's
C3 Riding on the wings of some
forgotten fantasy till a
corner or a hill comes a little too fast and
another Cowboy is free - there
ain't no way to play and win but they
know they'll always try - cause once
movin on gets in your blood, it will
burn a big hole deep in your gut that
not much else can fill
Once movin on gets In your blood it'l
burn a big hole deep in your gut - once
Once movin on gets in your gut - it'l
burn a big hole deep in your gut that
not much else can fill
