The Broken Cowboy

Everyone by his side
As he starts his ride
All gather round
To hear the stories of�life he's found

Shakin' his hand, pattin' his back
Always an offer to carry his tac
All look up to him
They see a man fit and thin �

So many people,�names hard to recall
But the faces, he remembers them all
Each one tells a story of when they met
Never would they ever forget �

The day came when the bulls finally won
The day they all hoped would never come
The cowboy hung up his chaps and rope
But to this day, he holds onto dreams and hope �

Alone with his memories and pain
He wonders if he'll ever hear from anyone again
At first a few called and wrote
Until they all saw how bad he was broke

They all fell away one by one
All walked off into the setting sun
No more letters, no one�makes the�call
Ever since this cowboy took his�last fall

And he wonders if he'll ever find love again
Of a good woman and a friend
But in his mind he knows
The years of hard ridin are startin to show

Aches in his back and in his knees
Feeling as old as those twisted up trees
Shoulders tattered, shattered and torn
Body busted, bruised and worn

Reality hits him like the cold hard ground
And he realizes why no one comes 'round
For just like a child's�worn out play toy
Who could ever want a broken ol' Cowboy �
