A Basin Buckarette's Promise

"A Basin Buckarette's Promise"

As I drive along Hwy 139

messy braid hanging from the back of a King Ropes cap

Sunroof open and "Buckaroogirl" blasting from the speakers

I can feel my heart getting weaker

I make a promise that 

I'll come back

Back to where I belong

Where I've been gone for way to long

Back to these wide open spaces

Back to the Basin

Back to watching cattle graze among these hills

Back to the place I was raised

Back to ranch rodeos, brandings, and roping

Sooner than later, I am hoping

I get closer to the city limit sign and sigh

Yea its been good to me for awhile but I know in time

I'll be back there, 

Back in my home in the Basin
