lyrics

You can't listen to a cowboy song on Las Vegas boulevard
It's been some time since cowboys roamed around these parts

If you listen hard you'll hear the twang of a steel guitar
But it's only a ghost that's been dressed up to look the part

It wasn't rock and roll that drove them off to the canyon lands
Or why they're rolling in their graves dug deep beneath the sands

But the palaces of plated steel and the earth caged up in glass
That were built upon that street and worshipped like a golden calf

They warned us long ago
About how this all would end
But we like to think we know
More than they knew then
They say that everything that's old Is one day new again
But we still think that we know
More than they knew then

So go ahead and sing yourself a good old cowboy song
About good-hearted women, and riding all night long

Tell yourself the whiskey goes down just like way back when
And through the bottom of the bottle, the world goes ‘round again

But something’s gone that can’t be brought back on a silver screen
And can’t be recreated for the younger ones to see

It’s the way they looked at sorrow, and at the happy times and pain
It’s all that they rejected when they moved out to the plains
