Ten Years Later
Once I wore cowboy boots on an oil rig
And before that I was a Deputy, also known as a ‘Pig’
Prior to that time I was a normal guy, living life on the wild side
But before I did that, I signed a line; a line to instead of your life, give mine.
I was proud to put on a uniform that in turn was an automatic target
But attacks on New York, D.C. and Pennsylvania, were the events that would start it
Never again would my life be the same, no more thinking freedom was a game
Alas, yet again in 2011, we shall continue to send those terrorists, to their ‘terrorist heaven’
