paroles de chanson Faster Horses (The Cowboy And The Poet) - Single Version - Tom T. Hall
He
was
an
old-time
cowboy,
don't
you
understand?
His
eyes
were
sharp
as
razor
blades,
his
face
was
leather
tan.
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
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,
and
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
it
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
an'
he
said,
"
You
are
a
liar,"
"It's
faster
horses,
younger
women,
older
whiskey,
and
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
something
cold
and
shiny
layin'
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
asks
me
what
it
is
that
I
have
learned,
I
think
that
I
will
readily
affirm,
"It's
faster
horses,
younger
women,
older
whiskey,
and
more
money"
