Vaquero Song Lyrics
Vaquero by James McMurtry I don't take the paper, I don't watch TV
I was out on the road when the word got to me
Well goddamn the text, couldn't I just have gone blind
And heard your voice in my ear like I did in my mind
Mira vaquero
Se pone el sol
Buen caballero viajando con Dios
Mira vaquero
No miramos atras
Nos vamos al campo
Una vez mas, una vez mas
Your chaps are still dusty from late summer's drouth
When the cedar turn rusty it's time to go south
When your time is upon you, you don't always know
"Brinca la vida," Abuela nos dijo
"Brinca la vida," we learned long ago
Mira vaquero
Se pone el sol
Buen caballero viajando con Dios
Mira vaquero
No miramos atras
Nos vamos al campo
Una vez mas, una vez mas
So pour out the coffee and p**s on the fire
I hear hounds in the distance, it's down to the wire
Make for the cow camp, we might have a chance
Vamonos por el campo en el campo we'll dance
Vamonos por el campo en el campo we'll dance
Mira vaquero
Se pone el sol
Buen caballero viajando con Dios
Mira vaquero
No miramos atras
Nos vamos al campo
Una vez mas, una vez mas
