I’ve got three shirts, four pair of shorts
Two cans of Pork and Beans-
Some tape and an Ace bandage…
And an extra pair of jeans.

My bag is old and battered-
From the many miles it’s known.
That suitcase and a rigging bag-
Are all I’ve ever owned.

I’m what they call a “cowboy”-
The title brings no shame…
The label is a lifestyle…
And one I’m proud to claim!

Five hundred thousand miles of road-
A lot of two-bit shows…
Small pots and “home-town” judging
At the local rodeos…

The years have passed so quickly-
My hair is growing gray…
I think I have a few years left,
So I’ll be on my way.

I’ve burned a lot of bridges-
And dumped a lot of loads…
The only kind of life for me…
Is “going down the road”.

No, nor should it....wear that title with pride. Enjoyed. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.
