High In The Saddle He Rides

Lyrics I wrote for my friend. Dale the ( Rock & Roll Cowboy )

 

Cowboys are restless,

They like to roam,

Where they hang their hat,

Is Home Sweet Home.

And cowboys are lonely,

When they're out on the trail,

And driving those cattle,

Through rain, sleet and hail.

 

Chorus:

 

But high in the saddle he rides,

His trusty old dog by his side.

A black stetson hat on his head,

Round his neck a bandana of red.

Reckless and proud, but gentle and kind,

Yes, Cowboys are one of a kind.

 

The yelping coyotes,

The bawl of a steer,

Are music so sweet,

To a cowboys ear.

The work is hard,

And the pay is low,

But he loves riding brahma's

At the big rodeo.

Reviews

[Antony]

This is the greatest tribute about Dale, that has been written, and I could actually sing along with it, I reaaly liked how you did this and all that it says, you are spot on with rhyme scheme, and perfect in your discription. I got a big kick and a few laughs from this.

Norma, beautifully written and expressed, as well as the dedicational thought
behind the meaning, the lyrical thought is lulling and brilliant in composure.
Enchants the mind like a starry desert night in the Texas panhandle.

Awe Norma what a wonderful piece of writing(I'm not bias here or anything)... no doubt home is home and I do feel lonely when I am out there working, thanks for writing such a wonderful dedication, i will treasure it always, now who can we get to sing it?
