Notes About The Poem

This is a poem about a cowboy sitting in a bar and dreaming about the beautiful lady across the way;  when actually it is his wife he is day dreaming about. 

Day Dreaming Cowboy

Day Dreaming Cowboy

Wish I was a cowboy
Just for you tonight

We’d Waltz and two step
Across this bar room floor

We’d put quarters in the juke box
Till they spilled upon the floor

We’d sing along with
Hank and Willy
Till they couldn’t take it anymore

I’d smother you in 
Belt buckles
From my latest rodeo

I’d be the cowboy
Who rode that bull
Ten seconds more

I’d put you on a stallion 
Let you lope across the
Wind swept prairies of my mind

I’d trade my Stetson
For your Levi’s
And lacy underwear 

I’d place your boots
Beneath my bed
Till the little ones came
And kissed us both goodnight

I wish I was that cowboy 
Just for you tonight
