On a misty, autumn evening,
As the sun sinks in the west...
I reminisce of days gone by,
The life I loved the best.

The PRCA circuit-
The miles and stops I knew.
But that is all behind me,
So now what will I do?

I'd like to load my pickup,
And follow that old sun...
Out west to Arizona,
Where my journey first begun-

I'd like to have a riding job,
Out on the Bar T Bar...
And live out in a line-shack,
And never see a car.

Of course I'd keep on writing...
Recording all my dreams.
But dreams are never fruitful,
At least that's how it seems.

I loved my share of women-
Been loved by one or two...
I wonder if they'll miss me,
When my life on earth is through?

I read one time, a fellows thoughts...
Of how to test success.
It's as good a way as any-
I surely must confess.

He said a man should have one friend,
To take him as he is.
And a woman who would love him,
That he was sure was his.

A dog that asked for nothing-
But walking at his side-
Then he had lived a life worthwhile...
Before he went and died.

Hey cowboy! I sure am glad I didn't miss this one...
How about sharing more of those adventures here with us.
Wonderful reflective write here m'friend.

Now while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again.

Hey there GS, it is good to read you again and once again your tales are a treat to read!

The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....
