[00:00:00] Faster Horses (The Cowboy Poet - Tom T.Hall

[00:00:01] Written by：Tom T.Hall

[00:00:08] He was an old time cowboy don't you understand

[00:00:13] His eyes were sharp as razor blades his face was leather tan

[00:00:17] His toes were pointed inward from a hanging on a horse

[00:00:21] He was an old philosopher of course

[00:00:25] He was so thin I swear you could have used him for a whip

[00:00:29] He had to drink a beer to keep his britches on his hips

[00:00:33] I knew I had to ask him about the mysteries of life

[00:00:37] He spit between his boots and he replied

[00:00:41] It's faster horses younger women

[00:00:45] Older whiskey and more money

[00:00:56] He smiled and all his teeth were covered with tobacco stains

[00:01:01] He said it don't do men no good to pray for peace and rain

[00:01:05] Peace and rain is just a way to say prosperity

[00:01:09] And buffalo chips is all it means to me

[00:01:13] I told him I was a poet I was looking for the truth

[00:01:17] I do not care for horses whiskey women or the loot

[00:01:21] I said I was a writer my soul was all on fire

[00:01:25] He looked at me and he said you are a liar

[00:01:28] Sunny faster horses younger women

[00:01:33] Older whiskey and more money

[00:01:44] Well I was disillusioned if I say the least

[00:01:48] I grabbed him by the collar and I jerked him to his feet

[00:01:53] There was something cold and shiny laying by my head

[00:01:56] So I started to believe the things he said

[00:02:00] Well my poet days are over and I'm back to being me

[00:02:05] As I enjoy the peace and comfort of reality

[00:02:09] If my boy ever asks me what it is that I have learned

[00:02:13] I think that I will readily affirm

[00:02:16] Sunny faster horses younger women

[00:02:21] Older whiskey and more money

[00:02:25] Faster horses younger women

[00:02:29] Older whiskey and more money

[00:02:34] Faster horses younger women

[00:02:38] Older whiskey and more money

[00:02:42] Faster horses younger women

[00:02:46] Older whiskey and more money
