Cowboy Rides

Born on a stormy night

March winds blowing hard

Born on the wind

Flashing eyes, dark as night

 

Roar of the crowd

Now silences of a held breath

8 seconds……..

Win or lose

Dust clears, cowboy rides

 

Two lane blacktop going nowhere

Vanishing into the night

How many times

Have I passed this way?

One more ride, one more day

8 seconds, win or lose, cowboy rides
