I'm not a country girl I was city born and bred But a cowboy chose me for his wife so I've learnt rural ways instead. He must a thought I'd do O.K. when he Chose to tie the knot, Cause I sure aint nothin' special, But look at what I got! I got a man to raise my boys and teach them how to live By raising cows and sheep and such. Some may think it primitive. But let me tell you what I've learned in this ranchin' moms career. When raisin' boys nothins better than a workin atmosphere. Like that day we blew them dudes away, They was on a nature trek When they came upon our cow herd and spooked 'em near to heck Here they came right straight at us in their fancy nissan truck and our cows was being stubborn and just wouldn't light a shuck. Now I was on a horse that day and so were my to sons One was six and one was seven and we was wishing we had guns. Cause we were pushing cows that day and I mean it literally And ornery bovine aint much cause for acting cheerily. But we eased them cows on by those dudes and shoved 'em round the bend. Then that herd started moving fast and our pushin' met its end, Cause they cut loose and headed south and we just let 'em go and those dudes they drove on by us after watchin our little show. We watched their truck drive down the road and stop by my boys dad And when he met up with us for lunch he told us what they'd said. See Dad was comin' up the road in our beat up little jeep Cause my little girl was plumb wore out and thats where she was asleep. He said those dudes had stopped him wonderin' who those cowBOYS were They'd said they'd seen all those great big cows and figured they knew sure That once they got on through the herd and out the other side They'd run into some grown cowmen with ruff and suntanned hide. They said they couldn't believe it when they got out the other end And there were two little cowboys doin the job of 4 or 5 men. Well' Dad he didn't say much he just nodded and kept on coming But I'm sure as we finished pushing those cows that he was just a hummin' Cause there was a button missin' off his shirt noticed only by me And that man was just as proud as I think I'll ever see him be! So always give me primitive, and a workin' atmosphere And don't think I won't always fight to keep my cowboys here. |

Ouch! So what books did Amy get for you? Would you like me to send down all the ones I hate? You might like them. ;) Then at least you'd have SOMETHING.
