Coins dropped in the pay phone- Make a lonely sound. Calling home to check on things. After the last go-round. I finished in the money... Just barely so it seems... Instead of eating steak tonight... I’ll feast on Pork and Beans. Then I’ll crawl in my old pickup truck And head on down the road. No way that I could finish well, The first night I got throwed. Rodeo and broken dreams... Seem my lot in life... And nothing’s ever like it seems- I guess I lost my wife. “So why not quit?” you ask me. Why rodeo’s my breath- My very cause of being... I’ll do it till my death. The only time I feel alive- Is when they pull the gate... I set my spurs, and ride him high And make my bid for eight. [This message has been edited by Gunslinger (03-09-2002 02:14 AM).] |

 (smiles) Your wonderful words always weave such wonderful traveller's tales, sweet friend, you never fail to have me envisioning the beauty of the wild west! (big hugggssssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is excellent! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet John, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Sometimes we have to follow the passion, sometimes, we just hang our boots on the gate. Well done, sir! |

Gunslinger, I think I can understand the feelings behind this. The cowboys I know all feel the same way. Enjoyed it. Dee I wish you every happiness and may you always have the best of the good things in life. a brand |
