We held a funeral and a wake at the Saloon With every cowboy agathered in one room Swappin' tales and tellin' from days when they were young Fearless buckaroos who always let the run
I still see us behind the chutes, in the sun Light reflecting off the buckles that we'd won Farmin' from everywhere, just a ropin' in our dreams Buckin' down the highway in old and faded jeans
Cheyenne days to Fort Worth nights, we drove inch of road We often our dreams out loud, sharing rooms and dirty clothes The bandaged up, the broken ones, too tough to cry The one we won the big go around, the were ours to buy
Days were filled with mundane that kept us lean and mean But our nights were spent out dancin' with the girls we'd seen Regaling them with wild ass tales, weren't that far from true There wasn't a single favor asked that your old pal do
And every year the finals us back to OKC Shoulders, Mahan, Steiner, Vol, and old Duffy And the dust had settled and the last go-round was run We stayed up all night singing songs every song was sung
The broken bones and broken that led to broken homes And the trails we rode together, now we travel on And the friends we saw summer, now we hardly saw at all A little something's broken off each a cowboy falls
Well amigos, see you down the line I enjoyed the bullshit, cause it brought back some good times And if you see pals we knew from days when we were young Tell I stil saddle up just to feel the ponies run
