lyrics

The Marlboro Man by TOMA


I’m thinking about the Marlboro Man

And how I heard the word he’s dead

And wondering how it happened



He sat on his horse all day

Smoking his life away

In the great wide open



He must have worn some fancy suits

Not just chaps and leather boots

Looking rugged in or out of the saddle



But when you get to give your life

Where you had nothing to say, wrong or right

Well that ain’t so bad, is it?



CHORUS

Why the Marlboro Man is dead and gone

No more galloping horses, to carry on

A ripped out page from the Cowboy day

In smoke filled dreams, of the American way



Never knew if he shot off a gun

Or if he lost more than he won

But we all knew he was mighty handsome



Roping and wrangling all day

Smoking his life away

With a lasso ‘round his shoulder



CHORUS

Why the Marlboro Man is dead and gone

No more galloping horses, to carry on

A ripped out page from the Cowboy day

In smoke filled dreams, of the American way



I’m thinking about the Marlboro Man

And how I heard the word he’s dead

And I kind a miss him
