Cowboy
When I was a little boy,
To be a cowboy was for me,
Roy Rogers rode the range,
The Lone Ranger and Tonto did the same.
Trigger was a faithful steed
Silver filled every need.
Never a foul word passed lips,
Even though they touted guns on hips
Doing right and fighting wrong
To this group I wanted to belong.
