What I'm like...... |
|
No I'm not a country singer Nor a western star What I write under my pen name Maybe does not shine far I chose my pseudonym Seemed appropriate to me I've been western about fifty years Will continue as far as I can see I listened to the Grand Ole Opry On an old time radio I heard all the great ones sing As they came upon that show I listened to country music Bought boots and western attire I liked the country music So my pen name hopes to inspire I listened as Hank Williams sang The songs that seemed his life I watched Gene Autry on tv Back when there was strife Yeah, I watched all the western shows I grew up with them back then There are so many, but I know most Only shows you where I've been Johnny Cash and his wife June Roy Rogers and wife Dale Oh, yeah, I know a few And don't you know without fail I somehow seem inspired by them But you know I cannot sing 'Momma s don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys' rings In my ears as old Willie sang You know I cannot list them all There are too many now But so many do stand tall I don't have a horse to ride Nor a large ranch to call home But I've been here and there Guess I was destined to roam Tex Ritter's Hillbilly Heaven I think that's what he sang Johnny Cash—-- I Walk The Line So many songs that rang In tune with some of what I felt Those singers sang their song So by choosing my pen name I feel I've done nothing wrong So while I'm not a country star I still hope my writings shine As far as they can go The heartfelt ones of mine So, I guess mostly yes Cowboys have been my heroes They seemed to only do good And someday; who knows Maybe I will have the chance To thank them, maybe shake hands See them standing tall With their country bands I did once reach out to touch a star A country singer, a lady I will never forget that night when I shook Dolly Parton's hand kindly Oh, yeah, I'm country Hat, duster and cowboy boots Touch my hat to the ladies Polite, a kindness that suits So, no I don't have the trimming’s A regular cowboy sports But then I'm not a regular cowboy Only one who purports To be such a cowboy But it's where I've mostly been Maybe I could have been different But I really don't know when Oh, yeah, I wear boots But no spurs you see Wouldn't hurt a faithful horse That's not a part of me So many names I could mention Those cowboys old and new It seems part of my heritage Cowboy is what I do So now the reason is clear I chose my pen name to be Saddlesnsongs; a heartfelt name Is an apt description of me |
