The Old Cowboy

The old Cowboy stumbles down the road
People turn their eyes away
No one offers to take him in from the cold
They all just send him on his way

If only they would take some time
To listen to the stories he has to tell
To see the pain and sorrow in his eyes
How they could tell them about his living hell

Of the times of being run down
And chased out of his own hometown
How he's loved only to lose everything
Of his dreams of a life with meaning

How he wishes that he could return to the days of old
When he always had a special someone to hold
To touch her skin and kiss her lips
How she would always pick him up when he slipped

But the bottle took it's toll
Turning him into someone she didn't know
And with every sip of the whiskey he drank
Further away from her love he sank

Not seeing what he was doing wrong
Until it was lost and she was gone
Now he wanders from town to town
Always sinking lower, always on his way down

If only someone would give him a chance
Not look away or give an unapproving glance
Perhaps he could restore the life he once loved
And secure his place in heaven above
