Cowboy bill by Garth Brooks

He told a good story and all of us kids listened 

'Bout his life on the border and the way it was then 

And we all believed him and when he would finish 

We'd ask the old cowboy to tell 'em again 

You could almost hear those prairie winds blowin' 

His saddle a creakin' 'neath his old faded jeans 

You could taste the dry dust from the trail he was ridin' 

As he sat there and painted those west Texas scenes 

And the grown-ups would tell us 

You boys keep your distance, that old man's just tellin' you lies 

But to all of us kids Cowboy Bill was a hero 

Just as true as his blue Texas skies 

He told of a time when he rode with the Rangers 

Down on the pecos and he saved the day 

Outnumbered by plenty, they were almost too cover 

With thirty banditos headed their way 

He looked back just in time to see a horse stumble 

The captain went down and Bill pulled up on his rains 

And through a flurry of bullets he rescued the captain 

And they rode for a sunset, just the story remains 

And the grown-ups would tell us 

You boys keep your distance, that old man's just tellin' you lies 

But to all of us kids Cowboy Bill was a hero 

Just as true as his blue Texas skies 

Well I still remember the day that it happened 

We waited and we waited but Bill never showed 

And the follks at the feed store said they hadn't seen him 

So we set out for his place down Old Grist Mill Road 

And we cried when we found him lying there with his mem'ries 

The old trunk wide open, things scattered about 

He was clutchin' a badge that said Texas Ranger 

And an old "yeller" letter said Texas Is Proud 

And the grown-ups that told us 

You boys keep your distance, that old man's just tellin' lies 

Well now they're all sayin' Cowboy Bill was a hero 

Just as true as his blue Texas skies 

Just as true as his blue Texas skies 

Garth Brooks Lyrics

He told a good story and all of us kids listened
'Bout his life on the border and the way it was then
And we all believed him and when he would finish
We'd ask the old cowboy to tell 'em again

You could almost hear those prairie winds blowin'
His saddle a creakin' 'neath his old faded jeans
You could taste the dry dust from the trail he was ridin'
As he sat there and painted those west Texas scenes

And the grown-ups would tell us
You boys keep your distance, that old man's just tellin' you lies
But to all of us kids Cowboy Bill was a hero
Just as true as his blue Texas skies

He told of a time when he rode with the Rangers
Down on the pecos and he saved the day
Outnumbered by plenty, they were almost too cover
With thirty banditos headed their way

He looked back just in time to see a horse stumble
The captain went down and Bill pulled up on his rains
And through a flurry of bullets he rescued the captain
And they rode for a sunset, just the story remains

And the grown-ups would tell us
You boys keep your distance, that old man's just tellin' you lies
But to all of us kids Cowboy Bill was a hero
Just as true as his blue Texas skies

Well I still remember the day that it happened
We waited and we waited but Bill never showed
And the follks at the feed store said they hadn't seen him
So we set out for his place down Old Grist Mill Road

And we cried when we found him lying there with his mem'ries
The old trunk wide open, things scattered about
He was clutchin' a badge that said Texas Ranger
And an old "yeller" letter said Texas Is Proud

And the grown-ups that told us
You boys keep your distance, that old man's just tellin' lies
Well now they're all sayin' Cowboy Bill was a hero
Just as true as his blue Texas skies

Just as true as his blue Texas skies

He told a good story
And all us kids listened
'bout his life on the border
And the way it was then

And we all believed
And when he would finish
We'd ask the old cowboy
To tell 'em again

You could almost hear
Those prairie winds blowing
His saddle a creakin'
'neath his old faded jeans

You could taste the dry dust
From the trail he was ridin'
As he sat there and painted
Those west texas scenes

And the grown-ups would tell us
You boys keep yer distance
That old man's just telling you lies
But to all of us kids
Cowboy Bill was a hero
Just as true
As the blue texas sky.

He told of a time
When he rode with the rangers
Down on the pecos
And he saved the day

Outnumbered by plenty
They were almost to cover
With 30 banditos
Headed their way

He looked back just in time
To see a horse stumble
The captain went down
And Bill pulled up on his reigns

Through a flurry of bullets
He rescued the captain
They rode for the sunset
Just the story remains

And the grown-ups would tell us
You boys keep yer distance
That old man's just telling you lies
But to all of us kids
Cowboy Bill was a hero
Just as true
As the blue texas sky.

Well I still remember
The day that it happened
We waited and we waited
But Bill never showed

The folks at the feed store
Said they hadn't seen him
So we set out for his place
Down on old grist mill road

And we cried when we found him
Lying there with his memories
The old trunk wide open
Things scattered about

He was clutching a badge
That said Texas Rangers
And an old yeller letter
Said "Texas is Proud"

And the grown-ups that told us
You boys keep yer distance
That old man's just telling you lies
Now... they're all saying
Cowboy Bill was a hero
Just as true
As the blue texas sky.

Just as true
As the blue texas sky.
