You Just Can't See Him From The Road Lyrics
Well you don't see him much on the big screen anymore
The kids don't ride along with Roy or Gene
And that ain't really him with all those feathers in his hat
And some frenchman's name embroidered on his jeans
Chorus:
But he's still out there ridin' fences
Still makes his livin' with his rope
As long as there's a sunset he'll keep ridin' for the brand
You just can't see him from the road
Well he never learned to two step hell he barely learned to walk
But he's worn a lot of leather off the tree
He's had one or two good horses that he counts among his friends
He never drew a breath that wasn't free
Repeat chorus:
Well he's tall in the saddle short on the cash
The last to quit the first to buy the beer
Well he's a knight in leather armor still livin' by the code
That's made him what he's been a hundred years
Repeat Chorus:
As long as there's a sunset he'll keep ridin' for the brand
You just can't see him from the road
The kids don't ride along with Roy or Gene
And that ain't really him with all those feathers in his hat
And some frenchman's name embroidered on his jeans
Still makes his livin' with his rope
As long as there's a sunset he'll keep ridin' for the brand
You just can't see him from the road
But he's worn a lot of leather off the tree
He's had one or two good horses that he counts among his friends
He never drew a breath that wasn't free
The last to quit the first to buy the beer
Well he's a knight in leather armor still livin' by the code
That's made him what he's been a hundred years
You just can't see him from the road

Yes, there are still real cowboys out there. And no, they're not those people you see with the tight leather "cowboy" pants with the legs tucked into alligator skin boots with lime green tops and a pink plastic spray-painted hat with a feather sticking out of the band and some pansy imitation cowboy shirt with flowers or bucking horses on it and a huge honkin' belt buckle studded with rhinestones. They are what we call "queer folk." No offense to any of you out there reading this and wondering how I know what you wear. cough cough so yeah, there are still real cowboys out there, but they're not like the kind you might imagine....they don't go out and dance every weekend, they're not rich, they're not in the spotlight as much as they used to be, but they're still out there. They still live the same way they did generations ago, they still live by the same moral rules.
GOD BLESS CHRIS LEDOUX!!!
Amen.
