the last gentleman in southwest texas - the panhandlers lyrics

[john baumann]
i know a gent in southwest texas
wears a silver belly custom from spradley hatters
his name is engraved on the inside band
he’s the son of a son of a wildcatter

he don’t leave the house without a bolo on
or the saltillo belt he bought in nuevo leon
he’s got some ml leddy boots from out san angelo way
he’s got a stogie in his pocket d*mn near every day

every cowboy i know
wishes they were
a hand for the ranch
or his city chauffеur
but he mends his own fencе
he drives his own self
ask him why, he’ll say “it’s good for my health”
he’s got it better than most
but he ain’t one to boast
he ain’t flashy
or one to go flexing
he’s the last gentleman i know in southwest texas

he’s got a gray chevrolet, a quarter million miles
when he wants to talk, yeah he still dials
down on the border, he don’t alienate
goes to the community church, just to leave a check in the plate
he don’t talk too loud, or use the lord’s name in vain
he’s got a drum off the gutter to harvest the rain
an australian shepherd he found in iraan
no name on the collar, so he named him dan

every cowgirl i know
wishes they were
capable of making him
a little unsure
but he’s happily married
kids are all grown
it’s a family affair
when they all come home
and he says life is all about a sense of direction
he’s the last gentleman i know in southwest texas

well, he sold off all of his mineral rights
to an old competitor in the houston heights
it was a handshake deal, no paperwork contract
the competitor just said, “well, that’s a class act.”

yeah, i guess right now he’s at home on a patio chair
wherever home is, i can’t really say where
but it’s probably the closest mesa to heaven
the gent ain’t telling the good lord get a spradley, not a stetson
every cowboy i know
wishes they were
a hand for the ranch
or his city chauffeur
but he mends his own fence
he drives his own self
ask him why, he’ll say “it’s good for my health”
he’s got it better than most
but he ain’t one to boast
he ain’t flashy
or one to go flexing
he’s the last gentleman i know in southwest texas
southwest texas
