[00:00:00] Faster Horses (The Cowboy And The Poet) - Tom T. Hall

[00:00:05] Written by：Tom T. Hall

[00:00:08] He was an old time cowboy

[00:00:10] Don't you understand

[00:00:12] His eyes were sharp as razor blades

[00:00:14] His face was leather tanned

[00:00:17] His toes were pointed inward

[00:00:18] From a hangin' on a horse

[00:00:20] He was an old

[00:00:22] Philosopher of course

[00:00:25] He was so thin I swear

[00:00:26] You could have used him for a whip

[00:00:29] He had to drink a beer

[00:00:31] To keep his breeches on his hips

[00:00:33] I knew I had to ask him

[00:00:35] About the mysteries of life

[00:00:37] He spat between his boots

[00:00:39] And he replied

[00:00:41] It's faster horses

[00:00:43] Younger women

[00:00:45] Older whiskey

[00:00:47] More money

[00:00:56] He smiled and all his teeth

[00:00:58] Were covered with tobacco stains

[00:01:00] He said it don't do men no good

[00:01:02] To pray for peace and rain

[00:01:05] Peace and rain is just

[00:01:06] A way to say prosperity

[00:01:09] And buffalo chips is all

[00:01:10] That means to me

[00:01:13] I told him I was a poet

[00:01:14] I was lookin' for the truth

[00:01:17] I do not care for horses

[00:01:19] Whiskey women or the loot

[00:01:21] I said I was a writer

[00:01:23] My soul was all on fire

[00:01:25] He looked at me

[00:01:26] And he said you are a liar

[00:01:28] Son it's faster horses

[00:01:31] Younger women

[00:01:33] Older whiskey

[00:01:35] More money

[00:01:44] Well I was disillusioned

[00:01:46] If I say the least

[00:01:48] I grabbed him by the collar

[00:01:50] And I jerked him to his feet

[00:01:52] There was somethin' cold

[00:01:54] And shiny laying by my head

[00:01:56] So I started to believe

[00:01:58] The things he said

[00:02:00] Well my poet days're over

[00:02:02] And I'm back to bein' me

[00:02:05] As I enjoy the peace a

[00:02:06] And comfort of reality

[00:02:09] If my boy ever asks me

[00:02:10] What it is that I have learned

[00:02:13] I think that

[00:02:14] I will readily affirm

[00:02:16] Son it's faster horses

[00:02:19] Younger women

[00:02:21] Older whiskey

[00:02:23] More money

[00:02:25] Faster horses

[00:02:27] Younger women

[00:02:29] Older whiskey

[00:02:31] More money

[00:02:34] Faster horses

[00:02:35] Younger women

[00:02:38] Older whiskey

[00:02:40] More money

[00:02:42] It's faster horses

[00:02:44] Younger women

[00:02:46] Older whiskey
