Poem
I was driving home in my Pick-up When I saw something Strange… … a Cowboy Sat atop His Horse Calling Someone’s Name He trotted on the Moonlit Trail The man’s Face, held no Shame As Tears were rolling down His Jaw I saw this, Very Plain… I could tell He was A-Hurtin’ Something was Mighty Grim I pulled up slowly Beside … and I asked Him … Cowboy … It’s a Cold Night Why are you out on the Range? There aren’t any Cattle Here … And There are no more wild Mustangs It’s a Cold Night out here Cowboy For you to take a Ride It’s a Lonely Night out here Cowboy With Nobody at Your Side It’s Somethin’ you never get Used To You can Fake it… like You Do… … But It’s a Cold Night out here, Cowboy… Come Inside… It’s gonna’ get Colder, Soon… You Better Hide… … At First, He looked at the Night Sky and then, He Turned to My Face and Underneath the Shadowed Brim His Eyes looked Hard and Glazed He said, “Hon, I’m a Rare Breed I get Real Lonely in Town I’m More at Home, where I Roam and Hear the Wolf and Rattlesnake – Sound I was Once a Rodeo – Star Now, I’m just a Wanted Outlaw And there ain’t Nothing You Can See That I haven’t Saw … … except, My Son, By my Ex-Wife – Annie She Married my Once Best Friend, Sam They Raising My Boy, Will, to call Him Daddy … … and I ain’t Seen my dog, Quickdraw In 10 Days … … and You Think, This Cold-Spell, Could Bother Me?...” and then, He nudged His Horse, and Galloped on His Way… … Well, by the Time, I made it into Town There was a Real Big Traffic Jam Police had Blocked Off a part of The Road and then, I heard… ‘Bam ! Bam ! … Bam ! … … it was then, I saw the Riderless Horse Standing Still … but Untied And The Outlaw, Clutched His Chest … as He Died … … … and the Dog, Quickdraw, was Whining by His Side … It’s a Cold Night out here Cowboy The Prairie Breeze was Singing It’s a Bad Night Out Here Cowboy The Midnight Stars Were Blinking … They Knew You were Headed into Town So You could Face a Final Showdown To try to find some Heat to Warm Your Heart … was a Cold Night, when You Decided to Depart
