The Cowboy Way

It's the cowboy way
 that's what they say
the big ten-gallon hat
 the gun on his hip, all that
the chaps, the saddle, and the horse, 
 the drawl and twang in his voice,
riding south on the cattle drive
 catching view of an Indian tribe, 
just a ghostly image of a time-old tale
 pioneers on the Oregon trail,
take me back in time again
 when a cowgirl loved a cowboy back then
and in the horizon of the western sun
 both were happy when the day was done.
