Faster Horses (1976)
He was an old time cowboy don't you understand His eyes were sharp as razors blades his face was leather tan His toes were pointed in from a-hanging on a horse He was an old philosopher of course
He was so thin I swear you could have used him for a whip He had to drink a beer to keep his britches on his hips I knew I had to ask him about the mysteries of life He spit between his boots and he replied
It's faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money
He smiled and all his teeth were covered with tobacco stains He said it don't do men no good to pray for piece and rain Peace and rain is just a way to say prosperity And buffalo chips is all it means to me
I told him I was a poet I was looking for the truth I do not care for horses, whiskey, woman, or the loot I said I was a writer my soul was all on fire Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com He looked at me and said, “You are a liar”
Son it's faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money
Well I was disillusioned if I say the least I grabbed him by the collar and I turned him to his feet There was something cold and shiny lying by my head So I started to believe the things he said
Well my poet days are over and I'm back to being me As I enjoy the peace and comfort of reality If my boy ever asked what it is that I have learned I think that I will readily confirm
Son it's faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money
