[04:26.66]Garth Brooks-Cowboy Bill
[00:00.43]
[00:00.72]He told a good story
[00:03.68]and all of us kids listened
[00:06.90]'Bout his life on the border
[00:10.20]and the way it was then
[00:13.74]
[00:16.04]And we all believed him
[00:18.33]and when he would finish
[00:21.79]We'd ask the old cowboy
[00:25.80]to tell 'em again
[00:29.05]
[00:30.65]You could almost hear
[00:33.71]those prairie winds blowin'
[00:37.05]His saddle a creakin'
[00:40.61]'neath his old faded jeans
[00:43.93]
[00:45.65]You could taste the dry dust
[00:48.69]from the trail he was ridin'
[00:51.93]As he sat there and painted
[00:55.77]those west Texas scenes
[00:58.97]
(chorus)
[01:00.81][02:27.27]And the grown-ups would tell us
[02:30.86][01:03.87]You boys keep your distance,
[02:33.90][01:07.09]that old man's just tellin' you lies
[02:39.66][01:12.85]
[02:40.88][01:13.99]But to all of us kids
[02:43.89][01:17.01]Cowboy Bill was a hero
[02:47.39][01:20.35]Just as true as his blue Texas skies
[01:26.13]
[01:28.15]He told of a time
[01:31.03]when he rode with the Rangers
[01:34.06]Down on the pecos
[01:37.40]and he saved the day
[01:40.63]
[01:42.87]Outnumbered by plenty,
[01:45.18]they were almost too cover
[01:48.90]With thirty banditos headed their way
[01:57.07]He looked back just in time
[02:00.36]to see a horse stumble
[02:04.02]The captain went down
[02:07.23]and Bill pulled up on his rains
[02:10.93]
[02:12.21]And through a flurry of bullets
[02:15.21]he rescued the captain
[02:18.83]And they rode for a sunset,
[02:22.12]just the story remains
[02:52.66][02:25.58]
[02:54.04]Well I still remember the day
[02:58.50]that it happened
[03:00.82]We waited and we waited
[03:03.76]but Bill never showed
[03:08.63]And the folks at the feed store
[03:11.87]said they hadn't seen him
[03:15.19]So we set out for his place
[03:19.07]down Old Grist Mill Road
[03:22.10]
[03:23.07]And we cried when we found him
[03:26.97]lying there with his mem'ries
[03:30.13]The old trunk wide open,
[03:33.48]things scattered about
[03:37.51]
[03:38.66]He was clutchin' a badge
[03:41.36]that said Texas Ranger
[03:44.91]And an old "yeller" letter
[03:48.26]said Texas Is Proud
[03:52.13]
[03:53.23]And those grownups who told us
[03:56.63]you boys keep your distance
[03:59.77]that ol' man's just telling you lies
[04:05.43]
[04:05.96]now there all saying
[04:09.37]Cowboy Bull was a hero
[04:12.84]just as true as his blue texas skies
[04:18.34]
[04:18.88]Just as true as his blue Texas skies
[04:25.25]
