Old Cowboy
Between Mexico and Texas
He made the midnight run
A black eye for his breakfast
Fried egg on the sun
Tattoo from the navy
Scar from a barroom blade
A bit part in a movie
That never did get made
His good deeds may outnumber
All his petty crimes
But I worry 'bout that old cowboy
Sometimes...
He used to croon to every tune
The border stations played
Windows down at 2:00 am
Del Rio hit parade
He's been rich and he's been broke
Made and paid his dues
Strike a match and light a smoke
And sing the highway blues
His good deeds may outnumber
All his petty crimes
But I worry 'bout that old cowboy
Sometimes...
The cock fights in El Paso
The Lobby in Juarez
All messed up on mescal
A debt the devil pays
It's a kind of sado-mado
A fight outside a bar
And a broken-ankled shadow
Staggers to a car
His good deeds may outnumber
All his petty crimes
But I worry 'bout that old cowboy
Sometimes...
Between Mexico and Texas
He made the midnight run
A black eye for his breakfast
Fried egg on the sun
Tattoo from the navy
Scar from a barroom blade
A bit part in a movie
That never did get made
His good deeds, they outnumber
All his petty crimes
But I worry 'bout that old cowboy
Sometimes...

I heard that someone saw him in Fort Worth recently.
That's right. On his way to the Mesabi Iron Range...
Truly, this article is really one of the very best in the history of articles. I am a antique ’Article’ collector and I sometimes read some new articles if I find them interesting. And I found this one pretty fascinating and it should go into my collection. Very good work.

cash for cars logan
Such a great information for blogger I am a professional blogger thanks. Best cash for cars logan means cash up to $9999 and free fast pickup. We take any car whether it’s used, scrap, junk, old, salvage, written-off or accidental. Our drivers are prompt and pick up a car at the scheduled time. Hassle free service and quick paperwork. We need your driver’s license to make a selling receipt and cash will be paid on arrival. We bought 39% of total cars from Ipswich last year and the number is increasing.
I can honestly tell you that no where on the internet is there any place where information is organised in such a manner. This is exactly what I wanted to find and had been looking for quite a while now. Finally I stumbled upon this. Great work and thanks again for this. Cash For Car craigieburn
