The Drive


He wages a battle within,
his heart and his soul,
worse then any ride
he's had on any bull.

His body pushes the ending,
but his heart wont let go,
and if he walks away now,
his pride will never know.

So he wages another battle,
as he straddles another bull,
workin to fill the urges
that cause his heart to pull.

He suffers through his injuries,
because he can live with the pain,
and push back all his emotions,
till he can cry in the rain.

He's to far gone in memories
to ever understand
that the battle that he fights
cant be won by  just one man.

He hold's onto the past,
and his friends that rode before,
not wanting to walk away
or close heavens door.

He hangs on alittle to tightly
to keep from going insane,
Riding for every cowboy
Thats ever died in Vain.
