when we come in to camp from the trail

Shiny derby hat hung on a nail

The Bronc Rider
Steve Dickson
He was sittin' at the Palace Bar there on Whiskey Row
Done takin’ on his part here in the oldest rodeo
Busted up and sore and tired, thoughts stir in his hard head
Thinkin' of them jumps he took that make him want a bed

She was way too close to me
My toes began to curl
