I wonder why I'm lonely-
For I guess I made my bed.
With no time for another-
As I tried to get ahead.

Riding fast, and driving hard,
While going down the road,
And now no one remembers,
That I even rodeoed.

I never made the Finals-
I never won the gold...
I rode a lot of bad ones,
But now I'm growing old...

I'm getting arthiritic,
And my hair is turning gray.
I can feel my strength keep ebbing,
With every passing day...

Your face still haunts my memories-
You were my youthful flame.
The dreams are growing faded-
And I can't recall your name...

But still I keep your picture,
Sitting there beside my bed.
And the echos of your laughter,
Keep on ringing in my head.

I think about you often,
Do you ever think of me...
And smile while reminiscing-
Of things never meant to be?

Morning cowboy!
I'll bet she is missing you this very minute.
Love hearing your tales of the rodeo.
I would have loved to have seen you in competition.
Have a wonderful day!
