Ballad of the Mystic Cowboys

Dogs were barking

Lightening scorched the ground

Some wizard of Oz spotted leaving town

Like dust in badlands all across with stars

There’s no rainbows sitting in the dark

Color of the wind switched dust will rob your speed

Left behind lame horses and the things we did not need

And we rode on

We rode on

We rode on
Like Mystic Cowboys

Yeah, Mystic Cowboys

Lovers hardly loved us we were mean to hold

Bankers stole from us we were panning for gold

They could not divide us and we multiplied like sin

And we sparkled in places we’ll never see again

And we rode on

We rode on

We rode on
Like Mystic Cowboys

Like Mystic Cowboys

We slept on concrete in Johnny’s Hotel

And beside river boats and places that we fell

Momma cries and the coyote calls fell on callused ears

We just played louder and prouder every year

And we rode on

We rode on

We rode on
Like Mystic Cowboys

Mystic Cowboys
