Lyrics:
Boyd Elder was a Lone Star man
Painted longhorn skulls on demand
Kept a house out in Valentine
Hung out in Marfa when the lights would shine

Boyd liked his silver tequila
Lost Horse Saloon with Sheila
Said LA was so illegal
Back in the 70s flyin’ with the Eagles

Well he’s ridin’ through the desert in a Cadillac
With a trunk full of Longhorn skulls in the back
Workin’ on a painting workin’ on a buzz
Lovin’ all the women and runnin’ from the fuzz

Well
The cartels had a lot of dough
To fill Boyd’s skulls with keys of blow
He turned them down nearly every time
He just couldn’t take the pressure on the borderline

Well El Chingadero was a solo show
High desert art from Presidio
It was one big party him and Bobby Fuller
The Trans-Pecos boys, wasn’t no one cooler

Boyd Elder was a well known character
From Mexico to the West of America
He’d pick ’em up Jack he’d let ’em go
He said “Hey baby now que paso honey”

Boyd Elder was a Lone Star Man
Painted longhorn skulls on demand
Kept a house out in Valentine
Hung out in Marfa when the lights would shine
