Lyrics:

You've been up in that saddle so long
The west that they said that you won has been lost for some time
The young man you were has grown old
The trail you've been blazing's gone cold as the West Texas night
Too stubborn and stuck in your ways
To ever let go of those reins
So where, oh, where, oh
Will you go vaquero
Now that your Cuervo's run dry?
There ain't no more fences that need no more mending
There ain't no more cattle to drive
The sunset you're chasing is changing and fading
And leaving your shadow behind
So where, oh, where oh
Will you go vaquero?
'Cause you're the last of your kind
You've been thrown from your pony before
But to getting back up anymore is more habit than thrill
You ain't ever been scared to die
But you're scared to death of being alive while your way of life is killed
Somewhere there's a lone whippoorwill
That's singing
Where, oh, where oh
Will you go vaquero
Now that your Cuervo's run dry?
There ain't no more fences that need no more mending
There ain't no more horses to ride
The sunset you're chasing is changing and fading
And leaving your shadow behind
So where, oh, where, oh
Will you go vaquero?
'Cause you're the last of your kind
So where, oh, where, oh
Will you go vaquero?
'Cause you're the last of your kind
