No More Buffalo James McMurtry

No More Buffalo - James McMurtry
[Verse 1]
I guess we knew the cards were stacked
Started out the best of friends
And we beat that highway 'til it quit beatin' 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 day
We looked around at all we saw and 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 callin', put away the toys

[Verse]
Don't chase that carrot 'til it makes you sick
What do you think you're gonna prove?
Just let it dangle 'til it falls off that stick
That's when you make your move

Don't go chasin' after shootin' stars
Tryin' to make yourself a name
You could joust at windmills with that ol' Fender guitar
Probably do about the same
