Years ago he was the handsomest devil in town

Well I know cause I've seen his pictures laying around

But he's gettin' old and can't ride them broncos no more

It makes me sad my old man just hit sixty-four

Years ago his home was the wild rodeos

But his scars are the only trophies that he's got to show

Now he's gettin' old his spurs are all rusty and brown

Oh it makes me sad my old man is fast slowing down

He's my father my friend and I love him that was hard to say just a few years ago

Funny but I guess I have mellowed cause my cowboy's getting old

Cause my cowboy's getting old



Years ago I was always there by his side

He'd saddle my pony and off in the sunset we'd ride hmm

Now he's getting old and I have gone off on my own

It makes me sad how my old man's years have flown

He's my father my friend...

Cause my cowboy's getting old
