Faster Horses (The Cowboy and the Poet)
作词:Tom T Hall
He was an old-time cowboy, don't you understand His eyes were sharp as razor blades, his face was leather tan His toes were pointed inward from a-hangin' on a horse He was an old philosopher, of course
He was so thin I swear you could have used him for a whip He had to drink a beer to keep his britches on his hips I knew I had to ask him about the mysteries of life He spit between his boots and he replied
'It's faster horses, younger women Older whiskey and more money'
He smiled and all his teeth were covered with tobacco stains He said, 'It don't do men no good to pray for peace and rain' Peace and rain is just a way to say, 'Prosperity' And buffalo chips is all it means to me
I told him I was a poet, I was lookin' for the truth I do not care for horses, whiskey, women or the loot I said, I was a writer, my soul was all on fire He looked at me an' he said, 'You are a liar'

Well, I was disillusioned, if I say the least I grabbed him by the collar and I jerked him to his feet There was something cold and shiny layin' by my head So I started to believe the things he said
Well, my poet days are over and I'm back to being me As I enjoy the peace and comfort of reality If my boy ever asks me what it is that I have learned I think that I will readily affirm
