GARTH BROOKS LYRICS

"Cowboy Bill"
He told a good story and all of us kids listened 
'Bout his life on the border and the way it was then 
And we all believed him and when he would finish 
We'd ask the old cowboy to tell 'em again 

You could almost hear those prairie winds blowin' 
His saddle a creakin' '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 grown-ups would tell us 
You boys keep your distance, that old man's just tellin' you lies 
But to all of us kids Cowboy Bill was a hero 
Just as true as his blue Texas skies 

He told of a time when he rode with the Rangers 
Down on the pecos and he saved the day 
Outnumbered by plenty, they were almost too cover 
With thirty banditos headed their way 

He looked back just in time to see a horse stumble 
The captain went down and Bill pulled up on his rains 
And through a flurry of bullets he rescued the captain 
And they rode for a sunset, just the story remains 

And the grown-ups would tell us 
You boys keep your distance, that old man's just tellin' you lies 
But to all of 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 
And the follks at the feed store said they hadn't seen him 
So we set out for his place down Old Grist Mill Road 

And we cried when we found him lying there with his mem'ries 
The old trunk wide open, things scattered about 
He was clutchin' a badge that said Texas Ranger 
And an old "yeller" letter said Texas Is Proud 

And the grown-ups that told us 
You boys keep your distance, that old man's just tellin' lies 
Well now they're all sayin' Cowboy Bill was a hero 
Just as true as his blue Texas skies 

Just as true as his blue Texas skies
