Remebering the old Cowboys, boots and chaps and cowboys hats at one time that was where it was at.............

What's happened to those old forty dollar a month Cowboys Hustling their cows on down the trail Through the sun and rain with only one thought Keep em steady boys Whipping up the dust along the way doing good to make twenty miles Morning starts before the break of day shake out those boots boys I hear cookie say Get er while its hot lots of grub waiting over here flap jacks and beef for one and all just put on those boots and jump to your feet As he grabs the handle to the coffee pot We line up one by one shaking off sleep in the wee hours before dawn cup of "Arbuckle" in hand sit down, still to tired to stand Last nights memory still fresh at hand Stampede happened such a sudden thing Took us over an hour to catch all those dab blasted things Took out Charley along the way Gonna miss him wiping my eyes still today In sunshine or rain it never stops forever we travel from day light till dusk Evening comes way to late But cows to market is a must So Damn ready to sit a spell grab some vittles, son of a gun stew big fluffy biscuits Man it sure is good! At the end of this run I'll belly up drink my fill grab me a gal for a little lovin spend all my pay But Hey, there will always be another day! Well those days are gone lost in the wind distant memory for some for others part of some story or movie We'll never again see all that you did Cowboys full of courage Cowboys who's trails are now lost in the dust Times came, and rest there you must.... �2005 Tina Clark �

You covered all the ideal from the wild prarie of the Indians to the settled farms of today. As much as we idealize their simple and staightforward lifestyle, I doubt if cowboys were a happy lot, especially when they grew old with little to show for their lives.
