Lyrics Faster Horses (The Cowboy And The Poet) - Tom T. Hall
He
was
an
old
time
cowboy
Don't
you
understand
His
eyes
were
sharp
as
razor
blades
His
face
was
leather
tanned
His
toes
were
pointed
inward
From
a
hangin'
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
breeches
on
his
hips
I
knew
I
had
to
ask
him
About
the
mysteries
of
life
He
spat
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
peace
and
rain"
"Peace
and
rain
is
just
A
way
to
say
prosperity
And
buffalo
chips
is
all
That
means
to
me"
I
told
him
I
was
a
poet
I
was
lookin'
for
the
truth
I
do
not
care
for
horses
Whiskey
women
or
the
loot
I
said
I
was
a
writer
My
soul
was
all
on
fire
He
looked
at
me
And
he
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
jerked
him
to
his
feet
There
was
somethin'
cold
And
shiny
laying
by
my
head
So
I
started
to
believe
The
things
he
said
Well,
my
poet
days're
over
And
I'm
back
to
bein'
me
As
I
enjoy
the
peace
a
And
comfort
of
reality
If
my
boy
ever
asks
me
What
it
is
that
I
have
learned
I
think
that
I
will
readily
affirm
"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
It's
faster
horses
Younger
women
Older
whiskey
More
money
