Vaquero

You've been up in that saddle so long

The west that they said that you won has been lost for some time

The young man you were has grown old

The trail you've been blazing's gone cold as the West Texas night

Too stubborn and stuck in your ways

To ever let go of those reins

So where, oh, where, oh

Will you go vaquero

Now that your Cuervo's run dry?

There ain't no more fences that need no more mending

There ain't no more cattle to drive

The sunset you're chasing is changing and fading

And leaving your shadow behind

So where, oh, where oh

Will you go vaquero?

'Cause you're the last of your kind

You've been thrown from your pony before

But to getting back up anymore is more habit than thrill

You ain't ever been scared to die

But you're scared to death of being alive while your way of life is killed

Somewhere there's a lone whippoorwill

That's singing

Where, oh, where oh

Will you go vaquero

Now that your Cuervo's run dry?

There ain't no more fences that need no more mending

There ain't no more horses to ride

The sunset you're chasing is changing and fading

And leaving your shadow behind

So where, oh, where, oh

Will you go vaquero?

'Cause you're the last of your kind

So where, oh, where, oh

Will you go vaquero?

'Cause you're the last of your kind
