Living's just a tough way to go <br />Like riding a wild bronc <br />In an old West rodeo. <br />Somedays I'm the clown, <br />Somedays I'm the whole damn show. <br /> <br />Come what may, <br />Like old cowboys, we're all just drifting <br />Our few days away. <br />Fast or slow <br />Living's just a tough way to go. <br /> <br />Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust, <br />The way life rains down <br />You'd think we'd all turn to rust. <br />Fast or slow <br />Living's just a tough way to go. <br /> <br />My heads full of pockets <br />From the pounding hail, <br />While thirsty I stand in the desert <br />With one big hole in my only pail. <br />Fast or slow <br />Living's just a tough way to go. <br /> <br />Whether throwing saddles on cattle <br />Or shoveling snow in old Frisco, <br />Life's just one helluva tough way to go. <br /> <br />To survive we all do <br />What we have to do. <br />Just an old story, <br />It's really nothing new... but, <br />All God's children will somehow make it through, <br />For this life is always going to be <br />A tough way to go, for me, <br />And for you.<br /><br />Smoky Hoss<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/living-s-just-a-tough-way-to-go/
