******NOW DONT GET ME WRONG
I LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC******


The Devil And Cowboys

~~~~*~~~~

In A Nightmare I visioned
The Devil blowing in the wind
Towards my direction
Amid dark tumultuous clouds.

A hideous smile
Trying to bring me down
All the while
Had a contract in his hand.
A quill dripping in blood
Swirling in a dust cloud

Woke up listening
to country music.
I knew that couldn't cause
That devilish dream
God!
But is misery
All they have to sing about?

Is selling the soul
To the devil
Their only way out?
Singing about, all that
Whooping and hallowing.

How many pick up trucks
Can a cowboy own?
Just about finished listening
To some country boy, reminiscing.

How cute his sweetie pie
Looked
While crashing his pick up truck
Oh! Lord, I beg you
Please!
Send me back to my nightmare
And let me be.

If I can't listen
To Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson
Or any othe great oldie
That can set my heart aflame
Or a trip to memory lane.

Let George Jones
Sing me, one of them there songs
Don't let them
Place a wreath on my door.

An excellent well-penned expressive write. I enjoyed reading it, and yes, I too, sometimes listen to Country Music, especially while traveling. My mother, God rest her soul, used to play it constantly. This delightful piece brought back many wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing it.

haha, i've often thought the same thing about country, although i listen to it once in awhile when my sister insists...i'm more of a matchbox 20 or three doors down person myself if i can't find classic rock

I love country and western music too and have written novels based on them. But I do like George Jones his one song was about unrequited love but for sentimental reasons I always liked it.

I have to admit I only listen to Country Western and R&B; maybe the devil's got this old cowpoke already - sure hope not, though!

William, I'll have to admit, being an avid Country Music fan myself, that it just ain't what it used to be! I grew up listening to Hank Sr., George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Boxcar Willie, Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, and ofcourse Conway and Loretta....many many others as well..
but if I had to choose my favorite...I'd be in real trouble!
So don't get me wrong..I really do love Country Music!
