Where Are All the Cowboys

Where are all the cowboys?
Where have they all gone?
Maybe they're in Texas, but they sure ain't here - yeehaw!
The type who says, howdy, ma'am.
Then they tip their hat.
Maybe they're in Arizona, I wouldn't have knowledge of that.
I saw one in a magazine just the other day.
It's beneficial he couldn't observe me, and I'll leave it there, okay?
Where are all the cowboys?
Tell me, where could they all be?
Maybe they're in Colorado, but they ain't in Tennessee.
The one's who say, you sure are pretty.
Do ya mind if I sit down?
A man gets mighty thirsty, and I'm currently in this town.
I'm not sure what else to say.
That's just how I feel.
If God don't send a cowboy soon, I might find one I can steal!

*Inspired by listening to my Urban Cowboy soundtrack

Thanks Silent One for reading. I have watched a couple of documentaries on Billy the Kid. He was an interesting person :)

Howdy, ma'am, plenty of cowboys here in Texas, just sayin'. Growing up in Texas, even in the big city, you grow up with a cowboy attitude. Enjoyed your poem, Angie, nicely done. Hugs, John

This is great! We used to have a type labeled COWBOY. I never could figure out how to use that type. Not sure it is still a choice, but this is great and would have fit.

Thanks Caren for reading. I don't see many anymore. I guess it's not as popular as it once was. :)
