Ricky David Tripp - Until the Last Cowboy Rides [*] lyrics



When I was a boy, I remember
Dreaming that one day I’d be
A cowboy just like all the ones that I saw
In the movies and on my TV

Back then, we needed a hero
But it’s harder to find one today
We’ve hardly begun to admire someone
When he shows up with feet made of clay

When the last cowboy rides into the sunset
A part of us all will be riding away
There’s got to be someone who remembers
What it was like in my grandfather’s day
When they didn’t put faith in what passes away
But held on to that which abides
It isn’t really over until the last cowboy rides

He always rode tall in the saddle
And he wasn’t afraid of a fight
But before he did anything, he had to know
That the thing he was doing was right

He never took roads that were easy
And the truth was above compromise
But the heroes our children look up to today
Look them right in the face and tell lies

When the last cowboy rides into the sunset
A part of us all will be riding away
There’s got to be someone who reminds us
That it’s important to mean what you say
To be able to tell what is right from what’s wrong
While everyone else chooses sides
It isn’t really over until the last cowboy rides

The only way forward is back where we came
To the values that we’ve cast aside
Will we come to our senses in time?
Will the last cowboy ride?

When the last cowboy rides into the sunset
A part of us all will be riding away
I hope before the walls fall around us
Someone with true grit will come save the day
There’s a battle between good and evil ahead
But the devil won’t be who decides
The good Lord will be watching until the last cowboy rides

The good Lord will be watching
Until the last cowboy rides
