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 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 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 looking 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

Sunny 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 laying 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

Sunny faster horses younger women

Older whiskey and more money

Faster horses younger women

Older whiskey and more money

Faster horses younger women

Older whiskey and more money

Faster horses younger women

Older whiskey and more money
