A time where stagecoaches were the way to travel from town to town
Also were Death arrived in burial with grave digging shovel
Mountains high with formations
Town and dust road names providing information
Sheriffs ruled in various towns
Yet robbers would often gallop into towns and intimidate citizens, Rob Banks and train holdups
John Wayne was a Movie Star was known doing western movies
“A western town not built for thieves so get out of Dodge”
Dust would often kick up from all the horse riding and wind storms
Tumbleweed flying from side to side and in any direction
The west wouldn’t be the west without a mysterious Ghost Town
Shutters that hit houses in a windy phase
Sometimes the days present haze
Shoot outs between Sheriff and Villains
I feel the bullet ricocheted and I was shot
But then again, it could have been a plot
Howdy always went into rowdy
Having a drink at a saloon
Then the hour of noon
Who would be the last man standing?
The music and dancing Can Can girls
As only a Can Can Girl can
Adventure in the west Will Smith style
Fighting villains all during while
Well that is how the west was won and living among
Now get out to the west and create your own fun
I am off to the west and I am into the sunset.
