I loaded up my saddle- And went to get my check... I'd barely made my entries back, My pickup was a wreck. My Wrangler jeans were threadbare- My boots both needed soles- I had some pasteboard stuffed inside, To cover up the holes. But as I headed out of town- I felt that life was fine... Living life just as I pleased... No mouth to feed but mine. A bedroll in the pickup bed- A riggin' sack and clothes. And not a thing I wanted, friend Except to rodeo! But that was twenty years ago- And all of that is changed... My riggin' sack's a briefcase now, The city is my range. I haven't rode a horse in years... And don't know if I could... If I could do it all again... I guarantee, I would! [This message has been edited by Gunslinger (02-26-2002 12:55 PM).] |

Gunslinger darling boy this is simply outstanding writing, you have done so well here I don’t know how you do it. Again flawless and perfectly presented. What can I say but this is exceptional. YOU always write brilliantly and today is no exception. Wonderful flow and rhythm the rhyme is fabulous too   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |
