INTRO: C G Am G F
Old
Tut was a cowboy I
knew years ago
Could put a
stretch in a
story like a
40 foot rope
Young and wide-eyed I bel
ieved every word
As he
rambled thru the
canyons and
stampeded herds
Swore there were still Comanches in them breaks to the south
He’d seen
good hands ride in there that never rode out
INTRO
He had a
horse he called Dollar that
twice saved his life
He lost
him to Jim
Shoulders playin’
poker one night
When
I turned 18 I packed
up and left home
Tut was
pretty old back
then and by
now he’s long
gone
CHORUS:
But
I’ve heard it said that old
cowboys don’t die
They get
put out to pasture way up in the sky
So if
God’s got a Heaven for
old cowboy legends
I hope the
grass is greener on the other side
And
He’s got good
horses to
ride
INTRO
Now the folks back home would tell ya Tut was just
crazy and old
But
I still be
lieve in Conq
uistador gold
And those
memories look like a mir
age in the distance
Starin’
out from this
prison of
urban existence
So
I saddle up and go back now and then
To
remember who I was and just forget where I am
SOLO
Now the
concrete and steel they s
pread out like a plague
Con
sumin’ the
rivers, the
mountains and the plains
And one of these days it’ll
all be gone
But s
omewhere that
spirit will
always live
on
CHORUS:
‘Cause
I’ve heard it said that old
cowboys don’t die
They get
put out to pasture way up in the sky
If
God’s got a Heaven for
old cowboy legends
I hope the
grass is greener on the other side
And
He’s got good
horses to
ride
Yeah
He’s got good
horses to
ride
A few good horses to
ride
A few good horses to
ride
