Cowboy Vespers

Inspired by a CD I recorded of "God Must Be a Cowboy at Heart" for Ralph Larson's Memorial Service. R.I.P. Ralph and Chris LeDoux.


Photeau (c)2012/duke larance

 
 
Boss, thank You kindly for this day
I pray I’ll have another
A cup of joe to taste the sunrise
To drift off with sunset color
 
Thank you kindly for my hoss and mutt
I could not have better friends
I pray they will be with me
When I head for Trail’s End
 
I will never, ever figure
Why You have put up with me
But thank You kindly just the same
For the life I live so free
 
(c)2012/duke larance ~ the drugstore cowboy poet

Twelve lines of distilled appreciation and a voice filled with 80-proof character, rich and smoothly gentle. ~~ Diana

Life on the range is more than free, it's a chore. Here's meeting you at trail's end.
