Cowpoke Meyers

There was once an old cowpoke named Meyers For decades he'd rode an old hoss named Squires He'd roped steers and fixed fences Enjoyed beer and square dances And was bowlegged as a pair of pliers Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired © All Rights Reserved

ah the rockin rolling seat , dem bowlaigs sure hard to beat, when ya poking them ol dogies , heading home and life is sweet, when the cattle are a grazing , and the sun is setting low, an the night watch is stargazing, a sweeter life i do know, back when life was walking slow, but then complete... thank you "Cowpoke Meyers" an wrangler Bob Hinshaw...
