BARREL RACER
|
............................................................................. |
- We wait at the line,
- my horse is plum’ hyped,
- I sweat thru’ my new shirt-
- snap-down pockets, gold striped.
-
- We fly thru’ the rope gate
- when I hear buzzer’s sound;
- gotta charge to that first barrel
- an’ make a clean round.
-
- My horse leans in close
- an’ her hooves kick up dirt
- as we do figure eights
- an’ I whip with my quirt.
-
- The wind feels like sixty
- as it slaps at my face;
- wanna win that prize money
- placin’ first in this race.
-
- The rootin’ an’ hollerin
- is all meant for me;
- as I circle the last barrel,
- the crowd shouts with glee.
-
- Now they’re all on their feet
- as my hat goes a flyin',
- heart beatin’ so fast
- I think that I’m dyin'.
-
- Back thru’ the gate
- my horse stops with a slide,
- as I pull back the reins
- from one hell of a ride.
-
- The gals are a slappin’
- my back as it ends,
- shoutin’ ‘n claimin’
- they’re all my best friends.
-
- The next girl speeds out
- an’ she makes a good show;
- her pony’s fast runnin’
- but down a barrel goes.
-
- Second was cinched
- by the first rider out,
- the one just before me
- knew what racin’s about.
-
- The next an’ the next
- try to keep up the pace,
- but time counts against ‘em;
- one takes only third place.
-
- But I took the ribbon
- an’ prize money too.
- I got plum’ excited,
- but between me ‘n you—
-
- Tonight, at the bar,
- as we all sip our beer,
- all that’s important is
- competin’ next year.
