Subject: I'm On My Last Road

It�s been a long road, I will have to admit;
But I�ve faced the fact, pard- It�s high time, I quit-
When I check out this morning, this motel abode�
Will be next to my last, since I�m quitting the road.

Kingman ain�t bad, for a battered old pro-
I made me some change, and I won the short go.
The contestants are younger, take that to the bank-
And the stock, I�ll admit, seems to�ve gotten more rank.

I started the circuit, back in eighty-two-
I was �wolf of the world�, so what else could I do?
An eighteen year old, with an ego too big-
A bullrope and bell, and a saddlebronc rig.

I married in ninety, divorced in a year-
The long, lonely nights brought my wife many tears.
I was a fool, I�m admitting to that-
In those days a home was where I hung my hat.

I�m heading to Little Rock, got one more show.
My entries are paid for the State Fair, you know?
Win, lose, or draw, ride �em good, or get throwed-
It�s the moment I�ve dreaded, I�m on my last road.
