I guess we knew the cards were stacked started out the best of friends and we beat that highway 'till it quit beating back it didn't mean much in the end some you win, some you lose some you throw away we headed South across those Colorado plains just as empty as the daywe looked around at all we saw remembered all we'd hoped to see looking out through the bugs on the windshield somebody said to me (chorus) no more buffalo blue skies or open road no more rodeo no more noise take this Cadillac park it out in back mama's calling put away the toys don't chase that carrot 'till it makes you sick what do you think you're gonna prove just let it dangle 'till it falls off that stick that's when you make your move don't go chasing after shooting stars trying to make yourself a name you could joust at the windmills with that old Fender guitar you'd probably do about the same (chorus) I never thought they'd ever doubt my words I guess they were just too tired to care I'd point to the horizon to the dust of the herds still hovering in the air somebody said it aint any such man you wish so hard you're scaring me and those are combines kicking up that dust but I guess you can see what you want to see you can keep on chasing what used to be there top that rise and face the pain but man they were here they were here I swear not just these bleaching bones stretching across the plain (chorus)
