Tom T. Hall Faster Horses (The Cowboy and The Poet) Lyrics
He was an old-time cowboy, don't you understand
His eyes were sharp as razor blades his face was leather tan
His toes were pointed inward from a-hangin' on a horse
He was an old philosopher, of course
He was so thin I swear you could have 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 about the mysteries of life
He spit between his boots and he replied
"It's faster horses, younger women,
Older whiskey, and 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 to say prosperity,
And buffalo chips is all it means to me."
I told him I was a poet, I was lookin' for the truth
I do not care for horses, whiskey,
Women or the loot I said I was a writer,
My soul was all on fire
He looked at me an' he said, "You are a liar."
"It's faster horses, younger women,
Older whiskey, and more money"
Well, I was disillusioned, if I say the least
I grabbed him by the collar and I jerked him to his feet
There was something cold and shiny layin' by my head
So I started to believe the things he said
Well, my poet days are over and I'm back to being 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
"It's faster horses, younger women,
Older whiskey, and more money"
"It's faster horses, younger women,
Older whiskey, and more money"

Some power chords coming off that Fender Strat! Love it! We miss you, Mr. Tom T. Hall!
Genius song
The Great Story teller at his best.
Nice to see a live version of it!
Wow, the fast tempo rock n roll version!
I'm to old for this shh...
That Strat sounds good!
Such a cool song!!!!
Such a cool song!
Was the building on the fire? Wow he blew through that song in a flash.
The roof had to be on fire!
Hahahaha
The story teller
The reason it’s too fast is because the tv executives only gave in a certain amount of time to get his song in before an advertising break.
Hall likely came prepared to sing that particular song, maybe because it was his latest release and wanted to help it in the charts as much as he could …
The result was a version that’s just a little too fast.
Ïm 🎃
a perfect explanation of relativity. if you like this read jiddu krishnmaurti.
Not a very good version
This version is too fast
