Description
THE BUCKLE
My buckle was once
shiny and new
My buckle was once
young like you
We rode through the ranges
through the dust and the rain
We rode on those horses
that others couldn’t tame
There was One horse
who was big and mean
His eyes were red
his muscles lean
He threw many a cowboy
without a sweat
They all tried but failed
and had deep deep regret
My buckle was once
shiny and new
My buckle was once
young like you
We rode through the ranges
through the dust and the rain
We rode on those horses
that others couldn’t tame
I was in a hollow
When I heard this strange grunt
And saw that Great horse
Looking down at me
Oh the prairie was burnin
all smokey and hot
all the creatures were gone
and I was in a tight spot
With a great stomp
that Great Horse did rear
Telling me it’s time
to get the heck out of here
I grabbed his black mane
and he flung me on his back
And in a split second
We were on our way
We flew like the notes
of a real fast song
Like three shooting stars
we flew through the sky
I knew this Great Horse
just saved me from harm
So this buckle I give you
Please wear it with pride
This buckle I give you
is not shiny and new
As you now know His legend
He will always Be, with you
My buckle was once
shiny and new
My buckle was once
young like you
We rode through the ranges
through the dust and the rain
We rode on those horses
that others couldn’t tame
We rode on those horses
that others couldn’t tame
