Let me tell you a story about a cowboy with a heart tried being mean but he just didn't fit the part he tried looking though smoking cigarettes and killing cows he tried over emphasizing and womanizing but it wasn't his somehow his friends all wanted him to come out and play they were roping things and spitting when he saw his father's grave and he started to wonder about death and thought "would he survive" then he suddenly knew the secret and he felt more alive he's just an emotional cowboy with questions on his mind an existential hombre and he can't help wonder why why why his friends are still out roping everything from deers to baboons but this poor kid stays home watching tom and jerry cartoons then later in the 80's it got to be too much to take and the cowboy drove his horse off a cliff and into a lake they never found him they just left him there this ends the story of the cowboy who cared so next time you go to see a western movie matinee think of cowpokes as poets and you'll know why i say that the cowboy may be gone and his voice is layed to rest but don't be surprised if his name turns up on a philosophy test because.... |
