Old Cowboy New Tricks Lyrics

That resistol is beat up and bent on the brim

All his denim's worn thin

He never outgrew them John Wayne dreams

He's still trying to be Wyatt in a shoot-out scene

He sings Ledoux and Waylon by the fire

A storyteller picking on some guitar wires

He'll be chasing sunsets 'til he dies

He'll be ropin' 'til he can't ride

You can't teach an old cowboy new tricks

Once his boots are broken in

He likes to smell your perfume and touch your skin

But that won't be enough to hold him

You see, you can't teach an old cowboy new tricks

Once his boots are broken in

He's faithful but that don't mean he'll stay

He'll ride out just like he rode in one day

The missing in between will hurt like hell

'Cause you've never danced with any other man that way

He'll be chasing sunsets 'til he dies

He'll be ropin' 'til he can't ride

You can't teach an old cowboy new tricks

Once his boots are broken in

He likes to smell your perfume and touch your skin

But that won't be enough to hold him

You see, you can't teach an old cowboy new tricks

Once his boots are broken in

He don't believe in fences

You love him, you don't blame him

That's the way God made him

He'll be chasing sunsets 'til he dies

He'll be ropin' 'til he can't ride

You can't teach an old cowboy new tricks

Once his boots are broken in

He likes to smell your perfume and touch your skin

But that won't be enough to hold him

You see, you can't teach an old cowboy new tricks

Once his boots are broken in
