Tom T. Hall - Faster Horses (cowboy And The Poet) слова песни
He was an old time cowboy don`t you understandHis eyes were sharp as razor blades his face was leather tannedHis toes were pointed inward from a hangin` on a horseHe was an old philosopher of courseHe was so thin I swear you could have used him for a whipHe had to drink a beer to keep his breeches on his hipsI knew I had to ask him about the mysteries of lifeHe spat between his boots and he repliedIt`s faster horses younger women older whiskey more money[ trumpet ]He smiled and all his teeth were covered with tobacco stainsHe said it don`t do men no good to pray for peace and rainPeace and rain is just a way to say prosperityAnd buffalo chips is all that means to meI told him I was a poet I was lookin` for the truthI do not care for horses whiskey women or the lootI said I was a writer my soul was all on fireHe looked at me and he said you are a liarSon it`s faster horses younger women older whiskey more money[ trumpet ]Well I was disillusioned if I say the leastI grabbed him by the collar and I jerked him to his feetThere was somethin` cold and shiny laying by my headSo I started to believe the things he saidWell my poet days`re over and I`m back to bein` meAs I enjoy the peace and comfort of realityIf my boy ever asks me what it is that I have learned I think that I will readily affirmSon it`s faster horses younger women older whiskey more moneyFaster horses younger women older whiskey more moneyFaster horses younger women older whiskey more moneyIt`s faster horses younger women older whiskey more money
