A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A COWBOY
A Day In The Life of a Cowboy
HE'S OUT OF BED AT THE BREAK OF DAY,
WITH A POT OF COFFEE ON THE STOVE,
AND A FULL DAY'S WORK ON THE WAY,
BUT HE KNOWS HIS WORK WILL TAKE MORE THAT ONE DAY.
HE PUTS ASIDE HIS ACHES AND PAINS,
HE WORKS HIS BODY TILL THE END OF THE DAY,
THEN HE SADDLES HIS HORSE, AND HE GRABS THE REIGNS,
FOR AN EVENING RIDE ALONG THE RIVER BANK.
HE TAKES OFF RUNNING, FREE AS A BIRD,
WHERE HE DOESN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD,
WITH NO DESTINATION, OR NO PLACE TO GO,
HE JUST GOES 'TILL HE CAN'T GO NO MORE.
THEN HE RESTS HIS HORSE, AND HE GETS A BITE TO EAT,
HE TAKES A QUICK NAP, THEN HE'S BACK IN HIS SEAT,
WITH BOTH HIM AND HIS HORSE, HE'S READY TO GO,
SO HE'LL TURN AROUND, AND HEAD FOR HOME.
HE RIDES THROUGH THE GATE AS FAST AS HE CAN,
FOR ONE LAST THRILL BEFORE HE GOES IN,
THEN HE'LL UNSADDLE HIS HORSE, AND LET HIM GO,
'CAUSE THE NIGHT IS ALMOST OVER, AND HE'S READY TO DO IT AGAIN
