Big, hot bowl of chili, to fight the cold outside, My fifteenth cup of coffee, tomorrow night I ride, My entries are in Denver, and I’m in Abilene- A lot of hard and lonely miles, are lying in between. I guess I’d better hurry up and get back on the road Get my head together and in a traveling mode, Plug in my old bird dog, and put the hammer down, A lot of miles to cover, before the first go round. That’s all part of a way of life, that folks call “rodeo” Living from a suit case, and always on the go. One year will age you seven, that’s one thing you can know- It’s all part of a way of life, that folks call ‘rodeo”. I broke three ribs in Casper, it really set me back- I need to take the “average” to get me back on track. Those wrinkles, and the gray hair, both say I’m getting old- I’d like ten head in Vegas, and a chance to take the Gold. I told my wife I’d quit the game, but that was ‘93- She gave me three more years of grace, before she quit on me- It’s like a raging fever, that keeps me on the go- It’s all part of a way of life, that folks call “rodeo”. |

A touching poem, Gunslinger. I really can't describe it better than that. ------------------ "Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage." -Billy Corgan- |
