The Last Cowboy

Shane Wyatt


He rode a golden horse 
with a golden heart
A forty-five 
strapped on his hip
I was twelve years old 
when he passed on
Sometimes I think 
that he still lives

Chorus (2x): 
He was the last cowboy 
in Oklahoma
The last true pioneer's son
He was the last cowboy 
in Oklahoma
Never be another one
When I was old enough 
to hold a gun
He taught me how to ride 
and shoot
And I was proud 
that I was his grandson
But could I ever 
fill the boots?

He said to work that gun 
'til it's a part 
of your own hand
Don't hesitate to defend 
your family or your land
Oh' and I tried to hang on 
to every word he said to me
So he wouldn't have to be
oh, oh, oh

(Chorus)

Never be another one
Never be another one
Or am I the only one?
