Cowpoke Promenade (Reflection I)

Life on the frontier offered its surprises.  None were so surprising but that sometimes even in the most rugged of circumstances, there was love to be found.

Cowpoke Promenade (Reflection I)
by Michael Romani

He spent his life
Trying to break free
She wants to be his wife
And he's got his duty

Too many nights
Having too much fun
Now he's seen the sight
And she's the one

The cowpoke dances
A devil's promenade
Trapped by romance
The coyote sings its serenade

Unsafe to love
At any speed
But the stars are above
He's planted seed

What's a man to do
With his liberty
What's a man to do
For the sake of dignity
