The Cowboy Life
He spends so many days
Traveling the old cattle trails
From Oklahoma to Abilene
Day after day with no end in sight
Just other men, horses and cattle
Mile after mile
Storms and endless sun
Sand blowing across the plains
Tearing into his skin
The cowboy waits for a single moment
To take time to relax and be himself
Away from the noise and the hardness
To lose his exhaustion
And just to take the time to look at his world
Sadly, that moment won’t last for long
Tomorrow he’ll be back on the trail
Surrounded by cowboys and cattle
And once again, despite the heat and the weather
He will love it
Because he knows one thing
It is his life and he will never give it up
