Beneath An Open Sky
By Gunslinger
I spent some time just thinking- As I drove through San Antone. About the days away from home- And spending them alone. About the miles I've traveled- The things that I have seen... And the fact I'm growing jaded- And I wonder what it means? I thought about the younger days, Bad broncs, and broken bones- But now it's bags and briefcase- Laptops and mobile phones. Five thousand used to be big bucks- It's ten times that today... No matter how much you bring in- You've twice as much to pay. Sometimes I guess I'm tempted- To throw it all away... Trade in what I'm doing, For a working cowboy's pay. A hard day's work might kill me now- But what a way to die... Unencumbered, Levi's on- Beneath an open sky.
