  4. That's a hard life man.... I was there...

    Rollin', rollin', rollin'
    Rollin', rollin', rollin'
    Rollin', rollin', rollin'
    Rollin', rollin', rollin'
    Rawhide
    She rollin', rollin', rollin'
    Though the streams are swollen
    Keep them doggies rollin', rawhide
    Through rain an' wind an' weather
    Hellbent for leather
    Wishin' my gal was by my side
    All the things I'm missin'
    Good vittles, love an' kissin'
    Are waitin' at the end of my ride
    Move 'em on, head 'em up
    Head 'em up, move 'em on
    Move 'em on, head 'em up
    Rawhide
    Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
    Ride 'em in, cut 'em out
    Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
    Rawhide
    Keep movin', movin', movin'
    Though they're disapprovin'
    Keep them doggies movin', rawhide
    Don't try to understand 'em
    Just rope, throw an' brand 'em
    Soon we'll be livin' high an' wide

  5. Rawhide!!! That works for me, Kid. I was actually thinking about Toby Keith's "Should've Been A Cowboy"... but that got me to thinking about a Cowboy song, and then I remembered my absolute favorite by the late, great black Irishman, Phil Lynott.

    what I'm listening to
    I am just a cowboy, lonesome in the trail.
    Starry night, campfire light, and the coyote calls where the howlin' winds will.
    So I ride out to the ol' sundown. I am just a cowboy, lonesome on the trail.
    Lord I'm just thinking about a certain female.
    And the nights we spent together, riding on the range.
    Looking back, it doesn't seem so strange.
    Roll me over and turn me around. Let me keep spinning 'til I hit the ground.
    Roll me over and let me go, riding in the rodeo.

  6. "Roll me over and turn me around" sounds more like broke back mountain.... arf he said.
