Lyrics
OLD DAN © Ant Wilson/Marc Wildman 2/2015
"I ride an old paint I lead an old dan".
He's sung that song all over this land
And songs about cowboys and ridin' the range
About freedom and friendship
And things that don't change
change with with the times can't leave em behind
Them ol' country rhymes
CHORUS
He said I don't mind the music the KIds all dance to
It's got a good beat and I quite like a G few
But they're missing alot of great songs
Country legends that live on and on
Them old songs gotta survive
And its my job to keep em alive
Oh he sings and dreams a world that's gone by
Where the cowboys drive doggies And people don't fly
They ride uncomplaining whatever their loads
Rolling across prairies not new asphalt roads
They worked hard before they had cars
And fancy disco bars
CHORUS
I know it's sad but you can never go back you can only go on
Yes we have no choice the days of the cowboy are long gone
And in the land of milk and honey he saved his money in a stetson hat
Always busted but in the good book he trusted
Let's hear them again them old western hits
Grand Oprey stars in white cowboy hats
And an old country song you can hear it resound
As they lower him gently down in the ground
Oh when he sang on the corners of old nashville town
You shoulda heard him
Singing Roy Buck and Gene......
