Waiting
Sweat-stained Stetson,
On the wall,
Muddy boots,
In the hall,
Stand and wait,
Sometimes they call,
Saddle-up and ride.
Spurs left hanging,
On a chair,
Saddle, oiled,
Over there,
Sit and wait,
With patient care,
Saddle-up and ride.
Slow and quiet,
Horses walk,
Softly nicker,
Hear them talk,
Endure and wait,
But never mock,
Saddle-up and ride.
Cowboy spirits,
In the night,
A haunting dance,
A lonesome sight,
Sway and wait,
For day’s first light,
Saddle-up and ride.
Saddle up and ride under stars and moonlight,
its the only thing that's left that's right,
Saddle up and ride.
