Thanks for the rein-holding Byrl. Since I don't sing, I might recite this one as cowboy poetry on Ralph's backporch:

My Roots Are In West Texas (Larry W. Jones 03/20/2009) (song#5854)

My roots are in west Texas
My boots are of leather worn
My spurs set off a jingle
On the day that I was born

I ride out on the ranges
Herd the cattle there to brand
West Texas never changes
Down along the Rio Grande

The prairies there are dusty
In winter the blizzards blow
My pony's strong and trusty
Where the purple sages grow

Longhorns may try to scatter
With new dogies and young steers
To me it doesn't matter
I'm a cowboy with no fears

When I'm away on roundup
I hear wild coyotes wail
Rattlers strike from the ground up
Makes a cowboy turn quite pale

Cookie's beans I've partaken
With his coffee boiled and strong
Then after bread and bacon
Ride the trail with merry song

My roots are in west Texas
My boots are of leather worn
My spurs set off a jingle
On the day that I was born

Thanks, BK. I've been a cowboy (of sorts) ever since watching Roy and Dale on my family's Magnavox console television set back in the early 50s. Since then, in addition to other careers, I've done some mule packing, dude ranch wrangling, and lots of cowboy singing. Been a good life.
Greg
