Garth Brooks - Cowboy Bill Lyrics
He told a good story and all of us kids listenedbout his life on the border and the way it was thenAnd we all believed him and when he would finishWed ask the old cowboy to tell em againYou could almost hear those prairie winds blowinHis saddle a creakin neath his old faded jeansYou could taste the dry dust from the trail he was ridinAs he sat there and painted those west texas scenes(chorus)And the grown-ups would tell usYou boys keep your distance, that old mans just tellin you liesBut to all of us kids cowboy bill was a heroJust as true as his blue texas skiesHe told of a time when he rode with the rangersDown on the pecos and he saved the dayOutnumbered by plenty, they were almost too coverWith thirty banditos headed their wayHe looked back just in time to see a horse stumbleThe captain went down and bill pulled up on his rainsAnd through a flurry of bullets he rescued the captainAnd they rode for a sunset, just the story remains*chorus*Well I still remember the day that it happenedWe waited and we waited but bill never showedAnd the follks at the feed store said they hadnt seen himSo we set out for his place down old grist mill roadAnd we cried when we found him lying there with his memriesThe old trunk wide open, things scattered aboutHe was clutchin a badge that said texas rangerAnd an old yeller letter said texas is proud*chorus*Just as true as his blue texas skies
