What Makes A Cowboy

 
Russell Shaw Cowboy Poetry Santa Fe New Mexico Artist

What makes a Cowboy will never change

Regardless of what’s left of the range

The truth is it’s just a state of mind

If a Cowboy’s lookin’ he’ll always find

Russell Shaw Cowboy Poet Santa Fe New Mexico Artist

A worn truck seat that’s fittin’ just right

For watchin’ a moon that’s big and bright

A cold beer to share with a friend

A helping hand that he can lend

Russell Shaw Cowboy Poet Santa Fe New Mexico Artist

An occasion to ponder what lies ahead

While gazing at the stars from a pickup bed

A place to hole up when the goin’ gets tough

And the courage it takes to call a bluff

Russell Shaw Cowboy Poet Santa Fe New Mexico Artist

The way to keep hangin’ on when all seems lost

How to do what it takes and forget the cost

How to saddle back up after being thrown

A place on the prarie to call his own
