Jerry Walker
We held a funeral and a wake at the Saloon With every cowboy agathered in one room Swappin' tales and tellin' lies from days they were young buckaroos who always let the ponies run
I see us behind the chutes, standin' in the sun Light reflecting off the shiny buckles that won Farmin' boys everywhere, just a ropin' in our dreams Buckin' down the in old trucks and faded jeans
Cheyenne days to Fort nights, we drove every inch of road We spoke 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 were to buy
Days filled with mundane chores that kept us lean and mean But our nights were spent out dancin' the fairest girls we'd seen them with wild ass tales, that weren't that far from true There wasn't a single favor asked that your old pal do
And every year the drew us back to OKC Shoulders, Mahan, Steiner, Vol, and old Duffy And when the dust had and the last go-round was run We stayed up all night singing songs 'til song was sung
The broken and broken hearts that led to broken homes And the trails we rode together, now we travel on And the friends we saw summer, now we hardly saw at all A little something's broken off each time a cowboy
Well adios amigos, see you down the I sure enjoyed the bullshit, cause it brought back good times And if you see those pals we knew from days when we young Tell them I stil saddle up just to feel the run
