Riding off into the sunset
on the back of my horse, Butterfly
Don't know which one of us yet
is looking for a place to die.
Old cowboys and their horses
are about a thing of the past
And now riding here in the present
don't know how long we will last.
Chorus:
Now it's a quarter past eleven
on the back of my horse, Butterfly
Be there indians and cowboys in heaven
if there ain't then I wanna know why.
Remember when farms were ranches
and super centers were called general stores
And it was a tree that had branches
now there's hardly a farm any more.
Old cowboys and their horses
are about a thing of the past
And now riding here in the present
don't know how long we will last.
(Repeat chorus)
