Lakeview Buckaroo




"Lakeview Buckaroo"

I know you're out there somewhere

Between the ZX in Paisley, and Adel

Out in the hills among sage and pines

Atop a dapple gray mare in your slick fork saddle

Searching for those wild range cattle

I can't hear you nor see you

But I know you're out there

Alone and at peace

Wildrag flying in the wind as you throw that big loop

Lakeview buckaroo

You are a man of solitude, your cattle, horse and dog are all you need

The cow camp is your home

This is the only life that you know

Lakeview buckaroo do you ever wonder if?

All of these things which are near and dear to you

Should be shared

What would it be like

To teach a son the ways of the buckaroo?

To ride and chase those cattle

To throw a loop with the best of 'em

To fix fence

They say it takes a special girl to tie you down

Lakeview buckaroo

There is one out there

She dreams of the place between Adel and the ZX

She dreams of chasing cattle

A top a bay horse in a slick fork saddle

Wildrag and chinks flying through the air as she helps you find strays

Of knowing your ways

She just hopes you'll stay

Lakeview buckaroo

I'm on my way!
