Cowboy Bill Lyrics - Garth Brooks - Garth Brooks

He told a good story 

And all us kids listened 

About his life on the border 

And the way it was then 

And we'd all believe 

And when he was finished 

We'd ask the old cowboy 

To tell them again 

You could almost hear 

Those prairie winds blowin' 

His saddle a creaking 

'Neath his old faded jeans 

You could taste the dry dust 

From the trail he was ridin, 

As he sat there and painted 

Those west Texas scenes

And the grownups would tell us, "You boys keep your distance" 

"That old man's just telling you lies" 

But to all us kids 

Cowboy Bill was a hero 

Just as true 

As his blue Texas skies. 

He told of the time 

When he rode with the Rangers 

Down on the Pecos 

And he saved the day 

Outnumbered by plenty 

They were almost to cover 

With 30 banditos 

Headed their way 

Photos 

He looked back just in time 

To see a horse stumble 

The captain went down 

And Bill pulled up on his reins 

And through a flurry of bullets 

He rescued the captain 

They rode for a sunset 

Just the story remains 

And the grownups would tell us, "You boys keep your distance" 

"That old man's just telling you lies" 

But to all us kids 

Cowboy Bill was a hero 

Just as true 

As his blue Texas skies. 

Well I still remember 

The day that it happened 

We waited and we waited 

But Bill never showed 

The folks at the feed store 

Said that they hadn't seen him 

So we set out for his place 

Down old Christville road 

And we cried when we found him 

Lying there with his memories 

The old trunk wide open 

Things scattered about 

He was clutching a badge 

That said, "Texas Ranger" 

And in old yeller letters 

Said, "Texas Is Proud" 

And those grownups that told us, "You boys keep your distance" 

That old man's just tellin you lies" 

Well now 

They're all saying 

That Cowboy Bill was a hero 

Just as true 

As his blue Texas skies 

Just as true 

As his blue Texas skies
