Aaron Watson - Vaquero Lyrics



Aaron Watson - Vaquero Lyrics




This old Mexican cowboy at the bar looked a hundred years old.
He had a million dollar smile and his weathered brown skin shimmered like California gold.
He said I'm a little short on cash, but I'm long on life.
For a shot of tequila, I'll give you some dang good advice.

He said don't leave your beer in the hot Texas sun.
Don't argue with a woman while she's holdin' a gun.
Never cheat when it comes to love or dominoes.
Vaya con dios said the old Vaquero.

Well my heart sank the more he drank, the more he poured out his misery.
How he lost her after 47 years and his tears started flowing like the Rio Grande.
He started speakin' in Spanish, then he kissed is rosary.
Said "Por siempre mi amor" his one more to her memory.

He said don't live your life like a sad country song.
A fool on a stool is still a fool right or wrong.
[?] San Benito breaking hearts as he goes.
Vaya con dios said the old Vaquero.

I walked over to the corner, turned the old jukebox on.
When I turned back around, like a ghost he was gone.

So I paid his tab, called a cab, called it a night, and came straight home to you.
As we laid there in bed, I told you all the things he said, we laughed, we cried, and I held you the whole night through.

You know I think of him often, out there all alone.
Maybe he was an angel, or just an old man from San Antone.

He said don't leave your beer in the hot Texas sun.
Don't argue with a woman while she's holdin' a gun.
Never cheat when it comes to love or dominoes.
Vaya con dios...
He said don't live your life like a sad country song.
A fool on a stool is still a fool right or wrong.
[?] San Benito breaking hearts as he goes.
Vaya con dios...
He said vaya con dios

This old Mexican cowboy at the bar looked a hundred years old.
He had a million dollar smile and his weathered brown skin shimmered like California gold.
