Hi, Will. Thanks for your nice comments. Glad you enjoyed the song. Not sure of the time for the techno loop, but it begins with the last chorus and runs through the end of the song.

Thanks for listening,
Bob

Buckaroos
Bob Buford © 2016

Had an old white mare named Mattie, around the time that I was five
My grandpa gave her shelter, and he helped her to survive
Seems she’d had a life of trouble with a man who didn’t care
And when I climbed up in the saddle, I was a cowboy riding there.

I remember ol’ Cool Water playing on the radio,
My cowpoke pardner, Danny, well he was in that song, ya know.
Oh, not really, but we thought so, as we rode across the plains
Cowboy pals forever, now the memory’s what remains

We were wranglers in the saddle, we were riders on the wind
Bronco bustin’ mavericks, headed up around the bend
Been a long time since those old days
And I miss those pards, ya know
Though we never wrangled cattle
Not a single rodeo

Twenty-eight years later, we were up there on the stage
Keeping up the image, after Western was the rage
Stetson hats and Wranglers, Tony Lama Buckaroos
Time was gaining on us, and we had nothing else to lose.

‘Cause we were wranglers in the saddle, we were riders on the wind
Six-gun totin’ mavericks, headed up around the bend
Been a long time since those old days
And I miss those boys, ya know
No, we never wrangled cattle
Not a single rodeo

We were wranglers in the saddle, we were riders on the wind
Six-gun toting mavericks, headed up around the bend
Stetson hats and Wranglers, Tony Lama Buckaroos
Yea We All Rode Up The Draw, played our songs, and paid our dues.
