I Should've Been A Cowboy covers such thoughtful subjects ranging from getting older, to that quick, little shortcut on a path less-taken.  From the old muleskinner, Lecil Hadley's evening in the hoosekow and his attempt at ordering in pizza, to a leisurely bicycle ride down a quint, mountain trail.  Tom also covers the disease all mule owners fear; SMDS, and he laments wistfully about his calling in life and what should have been.  Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, Thomas Firth proves time and time again that it not only can, it usually does.
