Cowboy and the Stranger (demo)

Cowboy of the prairie
Cowboy of the plains
Falling from his saddle
Grabbing for the reins

Landing on the death rocks
With his bullet hole and his gun
Dying there but breathing
Stains in the Sun
The cowboy is lying
Under pale red sky
The cowboy is dying
Under the stale red sky
So cowboy surrender
Stay down
Roll over
And cry eee yi yi yi yipeele yi

Then along comes a stranger
With bibles in his hand
He takes the cowboy's water trading dust from a promised land
And the stranger leaves him lying
Feeling no remorse
He's a headed for Amarillo
And a ridin the cowboy's horse

Yeah the cowboy is lying under the blood-cloud sky
The cowboy is dying
Under the blood-loud sky
So cowboy surrender
Stay down
Roll over
And cry eee yi yi yi yipeele yi

But the cowboy starts singing
A softly coyote sound
Of times he was a wild one
Shooting up a border town
With boots off in the bleeding the day is almost gone
Yet the cowboy keeps his singing
While the stranger passes on
Ahhhh a cowboy is lying
Under the final sky
Yeah the cowboy is dying
Under the vinyl sky and the cowboy remembers
The stranger
Who passed
Him by ebe yi yi yi yippeee yi
