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