Old Horses, Old Guns, Old Whiskey


I have a friend who this poem is about. We are both Old Cowboys His handle is the Wyoming Kid and mine is Montana Smith. This little poem is about us.I hope you enjoy it.

                    Old Horses, Old Guns, Old Whiskey

Many a trial we've rode
Crossed a few rivers too
Miles of canyons we've been down
Always ridin for the sunset
Old Horses, Old Guns, Old Whiskey
Torn shirts and patched pants
Rain soaked hats dried by the sun
More dust eatin than a man should stand
For the past we live our lives
Old Horses, Old Guns, Old Whiskey
The eyes grow tired, the gun hand slow
Side by side we back each others play
Seen the elephant, been round the horn
Wind blown hair that's turnin grey
Old Horses, Old Guns, Old Whiskey
Parched lips, baked skin from the heat
When the last showdown comes
The end of the trail
Be it heaven or hell
 the Wyoming Kid and Old Montana Smith
Will load one last shell
For Old Horses, Old Guns, Old Whiskey


                                   Edwin J. Smith
                                   The Old Cowboy
