Real Life Cowboy

Living on the trail

Camping by the fire

Sipping in the evening

Singing old cowboy songs

Life was easier

Or so they say

When all you had to do

Was survive

But the cold night air

Would eat at your bones

And the tension and fear

When bullets or natives approached

Tell a different story

A story of struggle

A story of a solitary soul

A story of a real life cowboy
