While I was in Santa Fe N.M. this last summer, I met a street musician in the plaza and spent an

afternoon trading stories with him over a couple of beers. I posted a link to an interview I found.

This song is the end result of that meeting…

The Last Real Man


He’s the man on a horse

A silhouette against the sky

Riding on into the western sun

Yes he sure can sing

Who does this kind of thing

Even when they say it can’t be done


American nomad

Guitar on his back

Riding all the way across this land

Detroit to Santa Fe

Backroads and lost highways

I just met the last real man


He sang original cowboy songs

So it was hard to sing along

A cattle dog lay there by his side

They threw dollars in his pail

He could surely tell a tale

He was wild as the west one of a kind


American nomad

Guitar on his back

Riding all the way across this land

Detroit to Santa Fe

Backroads and lost highways

I just met the last real man


My given name’s John Wayne

Don’t want no fortune or fame

I just want to do what I do

When it stops being fun

I’ll tell myself I’m done

One last song and then I’m Through


American nomad

Guitar on his back

Riding all the way across this land

Detroit to Santa Fe

Backroads and lost highways

I just met the last real man
