Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I saw him by the fence line
Hat bent like a tired prayer
His horse stood in the mesquite
Like it knew I'd stop and stare
I passed him slow in my Chevy
Past the gate, past the dust
He tipped that brim one time to me
Then the evening swallowed us
[Pre-Chorus]
And the road kept rolling out
Like it had somewhere to be
But that old man and that horse
Stayed behind in front of me
[Chorus]
The last cowboy
The last cowboy
Riding out of sight
The last cowboy
The last cowboy
Gone before the night
[Verse 2]
His saddle had a scarred-up seat
Leather split from years of rain
A rope coil slept on weathered wood
Under a sunburned, fading stain
I heard my engine fade to nothing
At the edge of that iron gate
And I wished I could have asked him
What all the leaving meant to fate
[Pre-Chorus]
But he just watched the horizon
With those salt-and-sky blue eyes
Like he’d already crossed that line
A thousand times
[Chorus]
The last cowboy
The last cowboy
Riding out of sight
The last cowboy
The last cowboy
Gone before the night
[Bridge]
Now when the wind hits that old fence
I swear I hear his reins
A lone horse snort in the pasture
Then the quiet comes again
Maybe it’s me who’s passing
Maybe he was passing through
Either way that gate still opens
On a world I never knew
[Chorus]
The last cowboy
The last cowboy
Riding out of sight
The last cowboy
The last cowboy
Gone before the night
[Outro]
I passed him and his horse that day
My Chevy rolled on by
But that old gate and that brimmed shadow
Keep riding in my mind

A Willie Nelson style western about the last cowboy. Sad harmonica and dueling nylon guitars.
I passed him and his horse as I drove my Chevy past the gate…
