Successful Living

Successful Living

Up early in the morning

Long before the sun

Squinting through your tired eyes

There's lots of work to be done

 

The horses all need feeding

It's time to check the cows

Flip on the arena lights

It's time to eat some chow

Others are still sleeping

As you pull your cinch up tight

This crazy life your living

Never seems quite right

The work is never ending

And most won't understand

The simple life your leading

Chasing your grand plan

Their eyes are always on you

As you pull your hat down tight

Your working for a living

Trying to do what's right

The horses are all worked

And your pant legs soaked with sweat

As you sit there thinking to yourself

How much better could this get

While others shuffle papers

Sitting at their desks

Your sitting saddled on your horse

Watching that pretty ol' sunset

Now your day is finished

As you stumble back through the door

You have that funny feeling

That you've done this all before

All the hours baking in the sun

You know what they were for

When you see those smiling faces

Waiting for you at the door

Their always glad to see you

They don't care about the score

You're number one in their book

It's daddy they adore

You'll do it again tomorrow

That crazy life you lead

To put food on the table

For your loving family

Now success is real subjective

And money's not the score

But a loving wife and family

Is something I adore.
