He's been singing in these
bars since he came back from the war
John letter from ex -wife number four
Chevrolet and bought a new guitar
Headed for the honky -tonks
Now he's the last of the neon cowboys,
When he hits the stage in a rhinestone
suit that he bought in 62
He's the last of the neon cowboys,
he's looking a little thin
But when the music starts he'll give all of his
heart to make you believe again
He used to work a steady job
and he did what he could do
To build a life and please a wife
Now he does engage himself
in things that you can see
A perfect fleeting moment
And that's the last of the neon cowboys,
the last of the raw and true
When he hits the stage in a rhinestone
suit that he bought in 62
Now he's the last of the neon cowboys,
he's looking a little thin
But when the music starts he'll give all of
his heart and make you believe again
He never looks behind himself
About the life he left behind
Kaplan on the front stage
Now he's the last of the neon cowboys,
the last of the raw and true
When he hits the stage in a rhinestone
suit that he bought in 62
Now he's the last of the neon cowboys,
he's looking a little thin
he'll give all of his heart and you will believe again.
Yeah, when the music starts,
he'll give all of his heart and you will believe again.
