“Final Gathering”
The Strays have been rounded up,
Calves bawling in the pen.
Horses munching on their oats
As darkness settles in.
It’s been a long and dusty push
Out on the open plains,
Every creek bank, every hollow
Cattle driven from the range.
Every cow has been accounted for
Not one was left behind,
For the heard of this young rancher
Has been the toughest of its kind.
Wild rags and cowboy hats
Has always been his style.
But the life this cowboy lived
Didn’t always make his papa proud.
But on his final drive,
The last one he would make,
This cowboy made the change
To put his cowboy hat on straight.
