She was a country girl, in her faded old blue jeans,
she was so full of life, and she was full of dreams,
she would dream about the future, and how her life would be,
yes she wanted children maybe two or three,

THE WORKING MAN

The best part of any man is the woman by his side,
the woman who helps him along the way,
...

She said she was ready to give her all,
to die for her country so she answered the call,
she had her basic, then went to a school,
then off she did go to the motor pool,

Here I am on the corner of love,
the corner of love and heartache,
which way will I turn, let's go see where love takes,
will love be a smooth, level road,

She lies in her bed, at night all alone,
wondering just when her man will be home,
...

but he got lonesome, so he made a new plan,
he drew out an image, then created man,

There once was a gun fighter, named Billy the kid,
he went down in history, for the bad things he did,

After our dinner, one bright summer night,
we went riding, out in the moonlight,
down through the canyon to, the valley below,

I wonder where you are today,
and just when you'll be home
in my mind the thoughts do play,
when I am left here all alone,
...

so I can throw that color away you see,
is it black? I really doubt it,
black's the color of death and the unknown,
...

WHAT IS LOVE

Love is a feeling so honest and true,
love is the feeling that I have for you,

THANK YOU FOR NOT SMOKING said the sign on the door,
the words that followed, I'll remember forever more,
'I was a smoker, just puffing away,
I swore I'd keep puffing, till my dying day,

MUSIC OF MY HEART

When we are together, there is music in my heart,
but there is only silence, whenever we're apart,
...

This is a poem about Bonnie and Clyde,
they had places to run too, but nowhere too hide,
both came from a poor and needy past,
the life that they chose, just couldn't last,
...

John Wesley Hardin was born in Texas, in eighteen fifty three,
he grew up as mean as any man can be,
when a luckless cowboy was snoring in his bed,
John Wesley took his pistol and shot him in the head,

MY DRUG OF CHOICE

She is like mountain laurel, a breath of fresh air,
a bird on the wing, or a flower so rare,
like the dew on the grass, at mornings first light,
aurora borealis on a early fall night,

Wyatt Earp was a lawman, Dodge City was his town,
the drovers came a calling and laid their money down,
whiskey they kept drinking, and telling their tall tales,
sometimes they got tossed into the can, and had to pay their bails,
