Old Coyote Town Lyrics - Don Williams

(Larry Boone / Gene Nelson / Paul Nelson) 

He's got a U.S. 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. 

Chorus: 

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 falls 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 

Till its ashes to ashes, dust to dust 

For that old coyote town.

As cars and trucks, and time pass by 

That old coyote town. 

God bless that old coyote town...
