 Subject: "Faster Horses" by Tom T. Hall
 FASTER HORSES
 Written & performed by Tom T. Hall
 G
 He was an old-time cowboy, don't you understand?
      
 His eyes were sharp as razor blades; his face was leather-tanned
      C       G
 His toes were pointed inwards from a-hangin' on a horse
                   D7           G
 He was an old philosopher, of course
  ------------------------------------
 
 He was so thin I swear you coulda used him for a whip
 He had to drink a beer to keep his britches on his hips
 I knew I had to ask him 'bout the mysteries of life
 He spit between his boots and he replied:
  ------------------------------------
 CHORUS
       G                 C              D7              G
 It's faster horses -- younger women -- older whiskey -- more money!
  ------------------------------------
 
 He smiled and all his teeth were covered with tobacco stains
 He said "It don't do men no good to pray for peace and rain
 'Peace and rain' is just a way of sayin' prosperity
 And buffalo chips is all it means to me.
 
 I told him I was a poet; I was searchin' for the truth
 I do not care for horses, whiskey, women or the loot
 I told him I was a writer; my soul was all afire
 He looked at me and said "You are a liar."
  ------------------------------------
 CHORUS (repeat)
  ------------------------------------
 Well, I was disillusioned, if I may say the least
 I grabbed him by the collar and I jerked him to his feet
 There was something cold and shiny a-layin' by my head
 So I started to believe the things he said.
 
 Now my poet days are over, and I'm back to bein' me
 As I enjoy the peace and comfort of reality
 If my boy ever asks me what it is that I have learned
 I think that I will readily affirm:
  ------------------------------------
 CHORUS (repeat twice and fade out....)
 
  --Eric--
