A cowboy dressed in black
Leaving a trail behind you
And never looking back
Spurred on by inner longing
A drive that keeps you strong
No ties that you can cling to
When the night is long
Unforgiving days of desert heat
No water to quench your thirst
Nothing that will hold you
Till you exercise that curse
Searching, never finding
And still the trail leads on
A duel between the heart and mind
A fight that won’t be won
