The Call of the Open Range
The wild west wasn’t tamed by sitting still—it took courage to follow the horizon.
Beneath the vast and starlit dome,
The rancher™s heart beats like a drum,
With leather straps that hold his dreams,
And cattle call in twilight™s hum.
The sun breaks forth, the day begins,
He rides the range where freedom flows,
Yet toil and sweat through dust and din,
Bring bittersweet, familiar woes.
A stubborn horse, a fence to mend,
The wind whips wild across his face,
With every chore, his spirit bends,
Yet love for land he cant erase.
As shadows stretch beneath the trees,
A campfire crackles, shadows dance,
He finds his peace in the nights ease,
For through the trials, he takes his chance.
