No Country for Old Men

[Verse] Dusty roads and wide, gray skies, Lonely hearts and weary eyes, A town where time just slips away, And the young folks got no time to stay. [Verse 2] Love letters in a cedar chest, Dreams of gold and sweetest rest, But the fields don’t grow like they did before, And the old men find no open door. [Chorus] No country for old men, just tales of when and then, The barns are empty, horses gone, just shadows with the wind. They sit and watch the past again, but they won't be back, my friend, 'Cause there's no country for old men. [Verse 3] Sunday church and a hymn that cries, Farmers bow with heavy sighs, The crops are thin, but prayers are strong, As the days drag on, the nights feel long. [Verse 4] A rusty plow, an empty chair, Memories linger in the autumn air, Ranch hands left and never came back, And the bottles drown what they seem to lack. [Chorus] No country for old men, just tales of when and then, The barns are empty, horses gone, just shadows with the wind. They sit and watch the past again, but they won't be back, my friend, 'Cause there's no country for old men.
