[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Too stubborn and stuck in your ways

To ever let go of those reins

[Chorus]

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?

[Verse 2]

You've been thrown from your pony before

But the 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

[Pre-Chorus]

Somewhere there's a lone whippoorwill

That's singing

[Chorus]

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?

[Outro]

So where, oh, where, oh

Will you go, vaquero

'Cause you're the last of your kind?
