[Verse 1] I guess we knew the cards were stacked Started out the best of friends And we beat that highway til it quit beatin back It didnt mean much in the end Some you win, some you lose, some you throw away We headed South across those Colorado plains Just as empty as the day We looked around at all we saw and all wed hoped to see Looking out through the bugs on the windshield Somebody said to me [Chorus] No more buffalo, blue skies or open road No more rodeo, no more noise Take this Cadillac park it out in back Mamas callin, put away the toys [Verse] Dont chase that carrot til it makes you sick What do you think youre gonna prove? Just let it dangle til it falls off that stick Thats when you make your move Dont go chasin after shootin stars Tryin to make yourself a name You could joust at windmills with that ol Fender guitar Probably do about the same [Chorus] No more buffalo, blue skies or open road No more rodeo for these old boys Take my Cadillac park it out in back Mamas callin, put away the toys [Instrumental] [Verse 3] I never thought theyd ever doubt my words I guess they were just too tired to care Id point to the horizon, to the dust of the herds Still hoverin in the air Somebody said it aint any such Man you wish so hard youre scarin me Cause those are combines kickin up that dust But you can see what you want to see And go on chasin after what used to be there Top that rise and face the pain But man they were here, they were here I swear Not just these bleachin bones, stretchin across the plain [Chorus] No more buffalo, blue skies or open road No more rodeo for this old boy Take my Cadillac park it out in back Mamas callin, put away the toys [Chorus] No more buffalo, blue skies or open road No more rock and roll cause we all know it Take my Cadillac park it out in back Mamas callin, put away the toys
