Got twin guns and holsters for Christmas,
always get them. A cowboy can’t work
without side arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Such shooters!
Exact Roy Rogers replicas,
pearl handled counterfeits,
long barrels,
chrome bullet chambers,
real cap rolls that explode
with such force I see sparks flash
before my eyes.
They coil like wounded snakes
and smell like burnt matches.
My nose twitches at the odor,
but that’s life for a cowboy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Holsters, the finest on the block,
genuine leather made from a cow.
I figure that’s the “cow” in cowboy,
I’m the other part.
Fringe rawhide strings hang
so low they tickle my bare knees
in summer time.
Roy really knows how to dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Got to meet the gang at the hideout
and form a posse to trail desperadoes.
When we find the bad guys,
there’ll be a big shoot-out.
Nobody gets hurt, though.
That’s the way Roy likes it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
