Cowboy's Sin

His heart is poundin his mind is racin as he walks behind the chutes Somethin’s different about this one as they watch him put on his boots His eyes are blurry his palms are sweaty he doesn’t know what to do He shakes a little as he walks around the nerves are showin through His mind goes blank as he sees those bulls chargin through the gate This is why he came here tonight he’s gonna make the eight His confidence is soarin high his hands they sweat no more His eyes are clear as summer nights and he’s powered to the core He sees through steel chutes and bars an eye as black as night That’s the one he wants to ride it’s gonna be a hell of a fight His fear is gone the nerves have left his adrenaline’s runnin strong He watches his bull as he rolls ahead and he puts his helmet on He just cashed his one way ticket to a fiery land called hell Sent there by a whole lot of bull that they call Thunder Bell His journey’s long and dark it’s filled with jumps and spins And Evil Forces sent by the devil to get those cowboy sins There’s no spirit or evil being that can hurt this rider’s pride So he walks through that wall of fire and stands at the front of the line He stares right into the devils eyes and hands his ticket in There ain’t no way that anyone is gonna get this cowboy’s sin

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
