Old Coyote Town - Don Williams

作曲:Larry Boone/Paul Nelson/Gene Nelson

He's got a you us

flag on his front porch

To remind everyone where he lives

And up in the attic

There are papers that prove

The old house is finally his

After thirty five years

The grass still don't grow

In that rock hard West Texas ground

Where my old dad still clings

To that old coyote town

Like horses the pick ups are

Parked out in front

Of a cafe that don't need a name

Where the old men rock

And the tumbleweeds roll

Past the boarded up

windows down main

Waist high weeds hide a for sale sign

At the drive in

where my innocence died

With a rusty advertisement

dangling by a nail

Says popcorn and pepsi for a dime

And down at the depot

where I left for good

There's a hobo with

his three legged hound

Waitin' for a train

that no longer comes

To that old coyote town

And the interstate rumbles

like a river that runs

To a rythm that don't ever slow down

As cars and trucks and time pass by

That old coyote town

Daddy fall's asleep in the living room

On the sofa with the TV on

Sometimes he waits for

a phone call from me

Sometimes he waits too long

But I still think of the people and

The place that he loves

How much longer will they be around

'Til it's ashes to ashes

Dust to dust

For that old coyote town

Like horses the pick ups

are parked out in front

Of a cafe that don't need a name

Where the old men rock

And the tumbleweeds roll

Past the boarded up

windows down main

And the interstate rumbles

like a river that runs

To a rythm

that don't ever slow down

As cars and trucks and time pass by

That old coyote town

Got godbless that old coyote town
