We a funeral and a wake at the Diamondback Saloon With every old-time cowboy in one room Swappin' tales and lies from days when they were young Fearless buckaroos who let the ponies run
I still see us the chutes, standin' in the sun reflecting off the shiny buckles that we'd won Farmin' from everywhere, just a ropin' in our dreams down the highway in old trucks and faded jeans
Cheyenne days to Fort Worth nights, we drove inch of road We often spoke our dreams out loud, sharing 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 were filled with mundane chores that 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 single favor asked your old pal wouldn't do
And every the finals drew us back to OKC Shoulders, Mahan, Steiner, Vol, T-bone and old And when the dust had settled and the last was run We stayed up all night singing 'til every song was sung
The broken bones and broken hearts that led to broken And the trails we together, now we travel on alone And the friends we saw each summer, now we saw at all A little something's broken off each time a cowboy
Well amigos, see you down the line I sure enjoyed the bullshit, cause it brought back some good And if you see those pals we from days when we were young Tell them I stil saddle up just to feel the run
