EULOGY FOR A COWBOY

They're all talking about the dead guy
Seems he could do no wrong
Lots of nice words for the dead guy
now that he is dead and gone
Words of praise and accolades
are showered on his noble grave
O'er head a flag does fly
as TAPS is gently played...

Bye bye
Dead Guy

The final act
Cue the sunset

He's a man who's only ever
solved his problems with a gun
Who laid to waste without much haste
before he rode into the sun
His shadow loomed at 5 past noon
the doorstep of that old saloon
He upheld the law with that .44
and he sent them to their tombs

Bye bye
Dead Guys (x2)

A cowboy never really dies
he merely changes plains (planes)...
from fruited up to Astral
his spirit still remains

Kind words for dead guy

The legacy that he does leave
of solving problems with a gun
Left us crying in the rain
as he rides into the sun

Thanks dead guy
