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!
