《The Cowboy and the Poet(Faster Horses)(Faster Horses)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Cowboy and the Poet (Faster Horses) - Bobby Bare

[00:00:10] He was an old-time cowboy

[00:00:12] Don't you understand his eyes were sharp

[00:00:16] As razor blades his face was leather tan

[00:00:20] His toes were pointed inward from a-hangin'

[00:00:23] On a horse he was an old philosopher of 'cause

[00:00:29] He was so thin I swear you could have used him

[00:00:33] For a whip he had to drink a beer to keep his britches

[00:00:38] On his hips I knew I had to ask him

[00:00:42] About the mysteries of life he spit

[00:00:45] Between his boots and he replied

[00:00:49] Faster horses younger women

[00:00:54] Older whiskey more money

[00:01:02] He smiled and all his teeth were covered

[00:01:04] With tobacco stains he said

[00:01:07] It don't do men no good to pray for peace and rain

[00:01:12] Peace and rain is just a way to say prosperity

[00:01:16] And buffalo chips is all it means to me

[00:01:21] So I told him I was a poet

[00:01:24] I was lookin' for the truth I do not care for horses

[00:01:28] Whiskey women or the loot I said I was a writer

[00:01:33] And my soul was all on fire he looked at me an' he said

[00:01:37] You are a liar

[00:01:40] It's faster horses younger women

[00:01:45] Older whiskey more money

[00:01:58] Well I was disillusioned

[00:02:00] If I say the least I grabbed him by the collar

[00:02:05] And I jerked him to his feet there was something cold

[00:02:09] And shiny layin' by my head

[00:02:12] So I started to believe the things he said

[00:02:17] Well my poet days are over and I'm back to being me

[00:02:22] As I enjoy the peace and comfort of reality

[00:02:27] If my boy ever asks me what it is

[00:02:30] That I have learned I think

[00:02:32] That I will readily affirm

[00:02:36] It's faster horses younger women

[00:02:41] Older whiskey more money

[00:02:46] Faster horses younger women

[00:02:51] Older whiskey more money

[00:02:56] Faster horses younger women

[00:03:01] Older whiskey more money
