Tex and Buddy are gone but the legend lives on Their songs take me back through the years When a man and his guitar could hang a dream upon a star Tex and Buddy were the pioneers Tex Morton was the man who made us understand That life can be lived around a song Like good old Rocky Ned and the Luggage Van Ahead Old stories that remind me of home Buddy Williams travelled down dusty road, outback towns A smile and a yodel in his song With an angel by his side he showed far and wide A singer, of the land where he belonged Tex and Buddy are gone but the legend lives on Their songs take me back through the years When a man and his guitar could hang a dream upon a star Tex and Buddy were the pioneers There are two old guitars with scratches and scars Tonight they lay silent all alone But somewhere on the wind Tex and Buddy still sing Way out where the white face cattle roam Tex and Buddy are gone but the legend lives on Their songs take me back through the years When a man and his guitar could hang a dream upon a star Tex and Buddy were the pioneers Tex and Buddy were the pioneers.
