Adios Longhorn (Larry W.

Cowboy’s Way (Larry W. Jones 01/03/2011) (song #6516) To a cowpoke’s ear, the bawl of a steer Is a melody of the plains And when gray coyotes make their howling notes To him it’s just a grateful strain And his cowboy song as he rides along Is all about his pretty gal With her golden hair she’ll be waiting there By the gate of the old corral For a king’s gold crown in a big old town He would turn d...

I Rode Out From El Paso (Larry W. Jones 01/01/2012) (song #6514) I rode out from El Paso following his tracks The sheriff said I would know how to bring him back This star I wear is shiny, reflecting the sun It feels so heavy for the job that must be done The outlaw is a man who’s taller than them all He was once a good man before his wayward fall The circuit judge he gunned down and now he must p...

Cynthia Ann Parker (Larry W.

Voyagers Lantern (Larry W. Jones 12/30/2011) (song #6505) If when you’re asleep in the night A voice you hear softly spoken Of someone who’s deep in their fright And their hope is deeply broken With each wave they travel along While the hull is fragile and weak Doing right will never be wrong So, if their horizon is bleak Go on and light the voyagers lantern And when you do, oh please light one fo...

Someone Somewhere (Larry W.

Deep Wooded Holler (Larry W Jones 12/17/2018) (song #7404) Well, I’d rather live in a deep wooded holler Where the live oak trees won’t allow the sun to shine Than to know that somehow you could love another When you said that you would vow to always be mine I now sleep in a deep wooded holler And when I awake I can find no rest Every hour it seems my world gets smaller Every time my poor hea...
