New York City Cowboys

In New York City, where do you go if you want to compete in some rodeo? In order to rent a studio in Greenwich Village, you need extra high income and a privilege. Living there means signing a long-term lease. The only men seen on horseback are the police. In the midst of the high-rises, it would seem quite strange, to find a wide open prairie and a home on the range. In this urban setting, cattle do not roam the streets. You can only find them in grocery markets as meats. I want to get out of the city; away from the rest. Get me a plane ticket. I want to fly out west.

This reminded me of Kid Rock's song "Cowboy." Great job & great flow as well! 7+

well, there is the naked cowboy who plays guitar in times square (he isn't really naked, either - he's in underwear, but he does wear a cowboy hat!)...
