I Guess I Was Wrong |

I hung up my spurs, and I hocked my old saddle- With no thoughts of getting it out. No more rodeo, and no more punching cattle, A lifestyle I can well do without. At least, that's what I thought, but I found I was wrong... It was more than a job- I should have known all along. I miss my old friends, and the rodeo lights. I guess I was wrong, I ain't never been right. She told me, "It's over, I'm hunting new range- I've given up hoping, that you'll ever change. I'm tired of tomorrows, that don't don't seem to come. Maybe I'm crazy, but, Babe, I ain't dumb." I guess I was wrong, when I told her, "That's fine- I've really been missing the sweet thangs and wine." But now that she's left me, and I sit here alone- I know that I love her, and treated her wrong. I guess I was wrong, now I'm getting old- While I'm still competin', my saddle is cold. And with the end nearing, I'm counting the cost, I guess I was wrong, and I know that I lost. |

Hi cowboy...good to see you here tonight. You didn't lose..you did what you thought was right, for you. And a cowboy has to do what a cowboy has to do.  Excellent write John..love hearing your tales. ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ ~Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile.~ |

I think if we were never wrong, we'd never learn a single thing. It's good to see you posting again....that isn't wrong! |

Gunslinger, Awesome as always. It is a pleasure to read your writing. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
