My Cowboy’s Getting Old

Years ago, he was the handsomest devil in town
Well I know cause I've seen his pictures laying around
But he's gettin' old
And can't ride them broncos no more
It makes me sad my old man just hit sixty-four

Years ago his home was the wild rodeos
But his scars are the only trophies that he's got to show
Now he's gettin' old his spurs are all rusty and brown
Oh, it makes me sad
My old man is fast slowing down

He's my father, my friend
And I love him
That was hard to say just a few years ago
Funny but I guess I have mellowed
'Cause my cowboy's getting old
Cause my cowboy's getting old

Years ago I was always there by his side
He'd saddle my pony and off in the sunset we'd ride, hmm
Now he's getting old
And I have gone off on my own
It makes me sad how my old man's years have flown
He's my father my friend...
Cause my cowboy's getting old
