- Tom T. Hall - Faster Horses Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- He was an old time cowboy don't you understand
- His eyes were sharp as razor blades his face was leather tanned
- His toes were pointed inward from a hangin' on a horse
- He was an old philosopher of course
- He was so thin I swear you could have used him for a whip
- He had to drink a beer to keep his breeches on his hips
- I knew I had to ask him about the mysteries of life
- He spat between his boots and he replied
- It's faster horses younger women older whiskey more money
- [ trumpet ]
- He smiled and all his teeth were covered with tobacco stains
- He said it don't do men no good to pray for peace and rain
- Peace and rain is just a way to say prosperity
- And buffalo chips is all that means to me
- I told him I was a poet I was lookin' for the truth
- I do not care for horses whiskey women or the loot
- I said I was a writer my soul was all on fire
- He looked at me and he said you are a liar
- Son it's faster horses younger women older whiskey more money
- [ trumpet ]
- Well I was disillusioned if I say the least
- I grabbed him by the collar and I jerked him to his feet
- There was somethin' cold and shiny laying by my head
- So I started to believe the things he said
- Well my poet days're over and I'm back to bein' me
- As I enjoy the peace and comfort of reality
- If my boy ever asks me what it is that I have learned I think that I will readily affirm
- Son it's faster horses younger women older whiskey more money
- Faster horses younger women older whiskey more money
- Faster horses younger women older whiskey more money
- It's faster horses younger women older whiskey more money
