Back To Texas With Love (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2007) (song#4426)
Back to Texas with love, I ride to you
No place is as good as beside of you
I traveled the west and learned a thing or two
Now, I must return, it's true
Back to Texas with love
The places I've seen, faces friendly and mean
There's one face I must see, I know
So, I'll swallow my pride
Untie my pony and ride
Back to Texas to one I love so
Where I'll beg to be your Cowboy Joe
- instrumental -
So, I'll swallow my pride
Untie my pony and ride
Back to Texas to one I love so
Where I'll beg to be your Cowboy Joe
From Texas I rode away with the wind
But then I realized just what I had been
A coward with empty dreams to speak of
Now I must return like a lonesome dove
Back to Texas with love

Thats a awesome song you have there ..
Reminds me alot of the old Roy Rogers movies I saw as a child they were probably 20 years old when I saw them though , but my brother loved the old cowboy movies ..
Well done , the first verse really pulled me in and I enjoyed every word ..
Cheers
Trevor
Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
Thanks Barnabus Rock. I appreciate the comment. I debated putting in the "Cowboy Joe" line:
"Where I'll beg to be your Cowboy Joe "
but it does nail it down as a Cowboy/Western song.

maybe just ..
"Where I'll be your Cowboy Joe "
But I like what you have
Trevor
Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
That's a good line also, but I'm inclined to leave it as is.
Reason is that Cowboy Joe "done her wrong" by leaving her back in Texas, so now he has to "swallow my pride" and return, so he'll have to beg her to let him be her Cowboy Joe.
Just to say that he WILL be might get him back on his pony and ridin' into the sunset alone instead.

Barnabus Rock, since we both like the old western movies, here's one about my favorite also, Roy Rogers:
Roy Rogers (Larry W. Jones 02/18/2007) (song#4440)
The thing I remember most when I was a child
Was the matinee movies of when the west was wild
Mama's lettin' me go to the movie show was routine
To see Roy Rogers ridin' Trigger, a golden palomino
Across the silver screen
Saturday morning I'd get in line for the big event
The girl in the admission booth charged fifteen cents
All week long I had to go to school but I would dream
Of Roy Rogers ridin' Trigger, a golden palomino
Across the silver screen
Roy Rogers rode a golden palomino and he was my hero
And I guess you know he's still the same, it seems
I've grown older now, but that doesn't matter anyhow
My hero's still Roy Rogers ridin' a golden palomino
Across the silver screen
My brother and I would ride stick ponies around our home
Mama said we were like wild Indians on the movie screen
But mama knew that wherever we kids would ride and roam
We were just Roy Rogers chasin' bad guys off the scene
Roy Rogers rode a golden palomino and he was my hero
And I guess you know he's still the same, it seems
I've grown older now, but that doesn't matter anyhow
My hero's still Roy Rogers ridin' a golden palomino
Across the silver screen
My hero's still Roy Rogers ridin' a golden palomino
Across the silver screen
