It’s raining while I’m driving-
And I have to fight the sleep…
From all the late night miles I push
My old, road-weary heap.

I bought her new, six years ago-
But, Lord, she shows the strain…
And like my skills at rodeo,
She’ll never “shine” again.

I used to be a “good one”-
At least that’s what they say-
Headed for the Finals-
I made the ponies pay.

I’m not sure how it started-
Maybe I was getting’ old…
I got banged up a time or two-
My saddle got real cold.

I tell myself each mornin’
You’ll get it back again-
But I really can’t remember-
Just what it’s like to win.

Yo Gunslinger,

You're doing okay. Hang in there bro.

Change is a good thing. You will find something new in which you can win.
Nice analogy.
