107 (D-24) On The Road Again / The Last Cowboy Song

107 (D-24) It's time to leave this beautiful National Park. Time to head back to the city. Time to go to San Francisco.

Listen one last time to some country and western cowboy songs as we leave the wilderness of the American West and head for San Francisco.

1. On The Road Again (Willie Nelson)

3. Momma don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys (Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson)

Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold.

They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold.

Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levis,
And each night begins a new day.

If you don't understand him, an' he don't die young,

He'll prob'ly just ride away.


Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.

Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks.

Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such.

Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.

'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone.

Even with someone they love.

AND

4. The Last Cowboy Song (by The Highwaymen)

....(Willie Nelson:) Remington showed us how he looked on canvas, And Louis Lamour has told us his tale. Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him, And wish to God we could have ridden his trail.

(Johnny Cash Verse Spoken Over Chorus:) The old Chisholm trail is covered in concrete now, They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs. They roll by his markings and don't even notice, Like living and dying was all he ever did.

(All:) This is the last cowboy song: The end of a hundred year waltz. The voices sound sad as they're singin' along. Another piece of America's lost.


Enjoy.
