Lesson Learned: Maybe it was destiny.
The Cowboy In Me
Recorded by Tim McGraw
I don't know why I act the way I do
Like I ain't got a single thing to lose
Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy
I guess that's just the cowboy in me
I got a life that most would love to have
But sometimes I still wake up fightin' mad
At where this road I'm heading down might lead
I guess thats just the cowboy in me
The urge to run, the restlessness
The heart of stone I sometimes get
The things I've done for foolish pride
The me that's never satisfied
The face thats in the mirror when I don't like what I see
I guess that's just the cowboy in me
Girl I know there's times you must have thought
There ain't a line you've drawn I haven't crossed
But you set your mind to see this love on through
I guess that's just the cowboy in you
We ride and never worry about the fall
I guess that's just the cowboy in us all
When I was a very little girl, my Mom taught us the US Marine Corps Hymn. When I was a bit older, we saw the USMC band, live and in person. When I learned to drive, I would meet her for lunch at the base where she worked (as a civilian) and would watch the young Marines in their red shorts running around together singing cadence. In between times, again, starting pretty young, I dreamed of farms and ranches and horses and cowboys and the open range. Maybe I watched too many John Wayne westerns. As a young woman, I moved to cowboy country and attended rodeos. I listened to country music. And found me a pickup truck driving, young Marine to sweep me off my feet. The last of the Templar Knights. And after 20 years, now he rides with the Army Cavalry. Could one have predicted?
