Adios Days

Adios days on the wide open prairie

Nights in the canyon are gone

Steven is dead, Johnny got married

and me I'm here all on my own

I'm all on my own

Used to have nights on the town of Loredo

Spinning them girls 'cross the floor

Now I'm too old for dancing

Too far gone for the whiskey

so I don't go down there no more

Now it's adios days on the wide open prairie

Nights in the canyon are gone

Steven is dead, Johnny got married

and me I'm here all on my own

My dad was a top hand

When he was a young man

He road for the Diamond Bar Jade

He pushed all day long

From the back of his pony

At night time he'd gather the streets

He hated the cities

Cussed all the railroads

Said they would lead us to fall

Now we have street cars

Cowboys dying

Guess he weren't too far from wrong

Now it's adios days on the wide open prairie

Nights in the canyon are gone

Steven is dead, Johnny got married

and me I'm here all on my own
