Adios Days: Story Behind the Song

歌詞

(Pat Green) Adios days on the wide open prairie Nights in the canyon are gone Steven is dead, Johnny got married and me I'm here all on my own I'm all on my own Used to have nights on the town of Laredo Spinning them girls 'cross the floor Now I'm too old for dancing Too far gone for the whiskey so I don't go down there no more CHORUS (BOTH) Now it's adios days on the wide open prairie Nights in the canyon are gone Steven is dead, Johnny got married and me I'm here all on my own (Cory Morrow) My dad was a top hand When he was a young man He road for the Diamond Bar J He'd push all day long From the back of his pony At night time he'd gather the strays (Pat Green) He hated the cities Cussed all the railroads Said they would lead us to fall Now we have street cars Cowboys dying Guess he weren't too far from wrong CHORUS
