She is a rare breed,
her spurs made from
hammered silver on
the shanks, she owns
the last pair of spurs
on earth.
One night she slept
with a lady train robber,
woke up with the goods,
the train robber died
in a compromising
position from Apache's
wildblood passion.
She'll limber your
muscles, put you
to a supreme test.
When her chutegate
opens, you are left
pockmarked with
spit!
Behind her chutegate
is a warm, moist spot
for trading encouragement
and advice on how to ride
to find out where the next
party will be, where girls
are that easy.
If you're scared of her,
you might as well go home.
She was raised on the
western frontier where a
woman wasn't promised
anything for her efforts.
All of that has changed.
To ride her is the luck
of the draw.
She offers independence---
something we would all
like to think we have.
She'll have a look with
you at some old scrapbooks
with old, blurred photographs.
She'll show pictures of the
dead, but whose names are
fresh in her memory.
Apache is a very interesting
woman who lives in the
shadows of her youth.
So, in untraditional fashion,
she makes the rounds where
the hours pass easy and the
girls show a definate preference
for her.
She is a rare breed,
her spurs made from
hammered silver on
the shanks, she owns
the last pair of spurs
on earth.

| Apache by Hank and the Shadows was guitar heaven, and this wild-as-the-wind woman rides free and wonderful. |

She provides life as only
she knows how, to show it,
shes dug in tight to it,
in order to hold on to what
She has achieved, and shes
learned how to catch the ladys
eyes, knowing each of their
names
It's the life in her years
thats counted, not to mention
the spurs, that only she could
of fashioned
Can imagine U rideing to this
tune, with U'r special stirrups
and spurs on WHEW.............. |

| Uh huh, and I am thinking here that those last pair of spurs on earth are of the gifted kind. Whot I'm talking about is that them thar spurs that, you know, jingle and jangle some of the wildest sounds in the desert, like some acid freak playing the vibes. These last pair of spurs in the world are special in another way, they thrive on being used by this wild thing, Apache, on the tender and lovely flesh of her . . . er . . . bedmates of the night, the bloody haunches of said female companions give these last spurs in the world new life and if used properly, will never die. |

This Apache girl is a wild and untamed spirit, who is game for anything, and the master of her own will and soul...:)
A rare breed in the 21 st Century, where the accent is on image and commercialism...
You are the master of your own destiny Sage, of that there is no doubt, and you can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear..
This fan of yours is watching and learning from you...
You are appreciated master alchemist...:)
You look good on a horse....:)
