Old Coyote Town

By Don Williams rmofle at satx.rr.com C Hes got a US flag on his front porch F C To remind everyone where he lives F C And up in the attic there are papers that prove Am G The old house is finally his Em F After thirty-five years the grass still dont grow Dm Am C In that rock hard west Texas ground F C F G C Where my old dad still clings to that old coyote town Chorus 1: Em F Like horses the pick-ups are parked out in front Em F Of a cafe that dont need a name Am7 C Where the old men rock and the tumbleweeds roll F G Past the boarded up windows down Main Waist high weeds hide a for sale sign At the drive-in where my innocence died With a rusty advertisement, dangling by a nail Says Popcorn and Pepsi for a dime And down at the depot where I left for good Theres a hobo with his three-legged hound Waitin for a train, that no longer comes to that old coyote town Chorus 2: And the interstate rumbles like a river that runs To a rhythm that dont ever slow down As cars and trucks, and time pass by That old coyote town Daddy falls asleep in the living room On the sofa with the TV on Sometimes he waits for a phone call from me Sometimes he waits too long But I still think of the people and the place that he loves How much longer will they be around Till its ashes to ashes, dust to dust For that old coyote town Chorus 1 Chorus 2
