"One day this cowboy will be you-hoo-hoo..." Manic percussion drives this heartfelt lament for a veteran cowboy.

Lyrics

What is a cowboy supposed to do?
When all his cowboy days are through?
He can't ride a horse no more
He can't even open the stable door

Old timer, its gone gone gone
gone gone gone
old timer it's gone

His cowboy boots are worn right though
He can't even throw his old lassoo
He's gotten so saddle sore
Poor old timer can't grip the reins no more

Old timer, hold on on on
on on on
old timer hold on

Old bones are only good for glue
But one day this cowboy will be you
So give him the respect he's due
Soon enough we'll be old-timers too

Old timer, its gone gone gone
gone gone gone
old timer it's gone
