Old Nashville Cowboy
By Rock Killough and Billy Earl McCelland
Old Nashville cowboy was burdened with time
And by the years, there's a fight with inside
Head full of music and old nursery rhymes
Heart full of sadness, thirst for more wine
They told him they cheated, they told him they stole
That's strength from his young years and light from his soul
They call the family until he grown too old
But he called them miners, those mother lode finders
That were digging too deep, search for more gold
Chorus:
Where are the cowboys, where's the home on the range
Can anyone remember they killed Jesse James
Because of TV, looking bad ain't strange
Old Nashville cowboy, just out on the change
Old Nashville cowboy, he's gone to the past
Like the wine he's drinking, it all went too fast
He never learned how to make each swallow last
Now he can't even get the way, he used to come and fill up fast
Chorus:
Where are the cowboys, the home on the range
Hell does anyone know they flat out killed Jesse James
Is anybody listening, or is everybody blind
Old Nashville cowboy, Lord, sing for a dime
He called them miners, those mother lode finders
Digging too deep, in search of more gold
He called them miners, those mother lode finders
Digging too deep, in search of more gold
He called them miners, those mother lode finders
Digging too deep, in search of more gold.......
