Old Nashville Cowboys Lyrics - Hank Williams Jr.

The old Nashville cowboy was burdened with time 

He was bent by his years and the fight with the wine 

With a head full of music and an old nursery rhyme 

A heart full of sadness and dark sunken nights 

He told me they've cheated he told me they stole 

The strenght from his youth and the songs from his soul 

He said he raised family till he got too old 

And he called them miners mother Lord finders 

Digging so deep in search of more gold 

Oh where are the cowboys and the home on the range 

Does anyone know that they've killed Jesse James 

Now the good guys on TV seem bad ain't it strange 

And the old Nashville cowboys missed out on the change

Lil Nas X - 'Old Town Road' ft. Billy Ray Cyrus - LYRICS 

The old cowboy's life now is gone with the past 

Like whiskey he drank it all went out too fast 

He didn't know how to make each swallow last 

And a head waitress won't be back to fill up his glass 

Oh where are the cowboys and the home on the range 

Does anyone know that they've killed Jesse James 

Is anyone listening or is everyone blind 

And old Nashville cowboys will sing for a dime 

And hard times are cheap at the end of the line
