She sits in the stands ,
Wringing her purse strap in her hands,
They call his name his ride is up next,
She looks around in total distress,
A woman has a way of knowing,
She can always tell when something bad is comming,
 he comes out of the chute hand held high,
She sucks in a breath trying not to cry,
In a second her fears come to life,
he is hung up ,
Dangling from that big old bulls side,
She screams his name and starts to cry,
The clowns rush in ,
There ther to save lives,
She prays while they do there job,
When he falls to the ground ,
She starts to sob,
Running from her seat to his side,
He is not moving  blood comming from by his eye,
She knows he got kicked and stepped on ,
She prays to god that he is not gone,
In the hospital she sits by his side holding his hand ,
Everyone can see how much she loves her man,
The docs says it's touch and go,
if he will ever wake up they don't know,
She cusses his love for the rodeo,
but deep down thats part of what she loves about him and all he knows,
She talks to him with loving words,
Hopeing to bring him back to her ,
Night after night ,
Day after day,
She sits by his side and she prays and she prays,
She asks god to take her if he does not make it ,
Telling him without his love life would not be worth living,
A  firmilur voice whispers her name ,
She looks over  at  where he is laying,
He tries to smile  this his face all swollen,
She yells for the doc ,
Her cowboy tries to act all tuff saying he is fine ,
She thinks he is a nut ,
He tells her he heard all she had said,
That now he knows how much she needs him,
She tells him they both have needs,
That she will always be there weather it is when he gets the buckel ,
Or he is laying in bed fighting for his life tooth and nail,
They go home  and hold each other ,
9 months later he has made her a mother,
Love is a wonderful thing,
it can make you cry,
It can make you sing,
But above all love is a must,
For in order to love you know there is trust ,,

When he gave his son up for our salvation,
It was out of true love and total devotion,
He made a sacrafice that none else would,
We take so much for grantit and noone should,
We walk throw life and don't look back,
Where would we be today if our lord thought like that,
We need to be  more aware of life,
Rember the man who was sacraficed,
He went threw more pain then anyone of us could ever bare,
While some stood by and only stared,
How could people be so cruel and heartless,
To put another human threw all that distress,
They hung him for that cross beatin and  bloody,
His mother  crying  throwing herself on the ground getting all muddy,
How many of us could give up our child,
To make the world a better place at least for a while,
A lot of us don't seem to care about rite or wrong,
There just going threw life with blinders on,
We need to wake up and see the light,
Do what we can to make the world right,
Help a person in need,
Try your best to do a good deed,
Rid the world of it's evil seed,
Let god back in your hearts,
Give him a chance to heal , thats where it all starts,

Just cause i am not in my  hat and boot,
Don't even think i have forgottin my root,
Out ridin my horse is where i would rather be,
If you take a good look at me that you will see,
I love country music,
I can really get into it,
Bobbin my head to the beat,
I am 100% country from my head to my feet,
On Saturday night,
I put on my boots and  hat that fits just right,
My nice button down shirt,
My tight wranglers that make me look like a little squirt,
I am lookin good ready to go out and flirt,
I never get attached don't wanna get hurt,
Every day no matter what i do or say,
You can bet i am a country in everyway,
Altho it maybe hard to see when i am in my dress suit and heals,
It's a way of life and how i feel,
I am  all country and always will be ,
Cause thats what God intended for me,

I walk along the beach
The sand  hot on my feet,
Waves crashing on the shore,
Thinking about the man i adore,
A sea shell lays washed up on shore,
So pretty and white,
It shines in the sun light,
Noone around for miles but me,
I think of how things could have come to be,
My loss weighs heavy on my mind,
Thoughts of you seam to break threw all the time,
Your smile and eye so deep,
My heart was yours to keep,
Walking along i hum a song,
One that hids  how things went so wrong,
I let you get closer to me then anyone ever has,
I know this pain will never pass,
Some times true love does not work out,
I learned that all to well without a dought,
The sun sets on the water in the sea,
I close my eyes and wish you were with me,
When i open my eyes a tear rolls down my cheek,
I fell so far  when i was knocked off my happy peek,
How can  any good come of this loss,
I am going to have to ask the big Boss,
They say he has a plan for us all,
Well i need to know why i always fall,
Tears flow more freely  down my face,
Facing the facts  i see i lost my saving grace,
That there will never be another who can take his place,
