We held a funeral and a wake at the Diamondback With every cowboy agathered in one room Swappin' tales and lies from days when they were young Fearless buckaroos who always let the run
I see us behind the chutes, standin' in the sun Light off the shiny buckles that we'd won Farmin' boys from everywhere, a ropin' in our dreams Buckin' down the highway in old trucks and faded
Cheyenne days to Fort Worth nights, we drove every of road We often our dreams out loud, sharing rooms and dirty clothes The bandaged up, the ones, too tough to ever cry The one we won the big go around, the drinks ours to buy
Days were filled with mundane that kept us lean and mean But our nights were spent out dancin' with the fairest girls seen Regaling them with wild ass tales, that weren't far from true wasn't a single favor asked that your old pal wouldn't do
And year the finals drew us back to OKC Shoulders, Mahan, Steiner, Vol, T-bone and old And when the had settled and the last go-round was run We stayed up all night singing songs 'til every song was
The broken bones and broken that led to broken homes And the trails we together, now we travel on alone And the we saw each summer, now we hardly saw at all A little something's broken off each a cowboy falls
Well amigos, see you down the line I enjoyed the bullshit, cause it brought back some good times And if you see those pals we knew from days when we young Tell them I saddle up just to feel the ponies run
