You can always tell
a cowboy,
By lookin' at his
truck.
It's like gettin'
on a 2 year old,
You know he's gonna'
buck.
His truck will have
the usual stuff.
But no chrome or
fancy wheels.
Just look upon
the dash,
And you'll find
his latest deals.
In the back there'll
be a rope, an empty sack,
And maybe a roll
or two of wire.
He won't have a
catalytic converter,
'Cause it may cause
a fire.
He'll have two spares.
some used bailer twine,
And half a sack
of feed.
His gooseneck hitch
is back there too.
For a tail gate,
he has no need.
There'll be some
wires runnin' into the side,
Where the trailer
lights used to go.
They worked real
good one time, but shorted out.
What year he doesn't
know.
The windows aren't
tinted or clean,
And only one of
them runs down.
If you look on
the floor of the passenger side,
You'll find a cowboy
lost and found.
The rubber cap is
off the clutch,
And the windshield,
it is cracked.
The rear bumper
will have a dent or two.
Where into stuff
he's backed.
The air conditioner;
it don't work,
And hasn't for
several years.
The last time it
was washed,
He paid the help
in beers.
But it gets him
where he's goin',
And pulls his trailer
too.
But since he's
horseback most the time,
For him, it's good
as new!
