lirik lagu james mcmurtry - south texas lawman
[verse 1]
south texas lawman, he brings ’em back alive
he hunts quail from horseback and he cheats on both his wives
one in rio bravo, one in raymondville
he’s never been to houston, and he doubts he ever will
south texas lawman, old time in his ways
he wore the cinco peso, and it dogged him through his days
the hours were long and lonesome, the paperwork’s a b~tch
his years are empty bottles now, tossed off in the ditch
[chorus 1]
i used to be young
i used to undеrstand
i used to be strong as any man
i used to bе bold
n0body bothered me
and i can’t stand getting old, it don’t fit me
it don’t fit me
[verse 2]
south texas lawman, the work just ain’t the same
used to you could clock ’em good if they called you any names
now he’s up on charges for showin’ ’em who’s the boss
he reckons after vietnam we must’ve all gone soft
[chorus 2]
i used to be young
i used to understand
i used to be strong as any man
[verse 3]
south texas lawman, sittin’ on the beach
south of port aransas, alone and out of reach
cellphone in the pickup, gun~belt in the sand
lookin’ past the breakers, half pint in his hand
kayak through the breakers, to brave the silent sea
cinderblock and a ski~rope coiled beneath his knees
cellphone in the pickup, gun~belt in the sand
naked in the moonlight, sidearm in his hand
out past the second sand bar and on out towards the rigs
there’s things out deep you seldom see
some of them get mighty big
[chorus 3]
i used to be young
i used to understand
i used to be strong as any man
i used to be tough
n0body bothered me
now i’ve had about enough, this don’t suit me
it don’t suit me
i used to be bold
n0body bothered me
and i can’t stand getting old, it don’t fit me
it don’t fit me
