| REMEMBER THE YEAR ...
LONG AGO...... WHEN IT WAS TIME .... FOR THE RODEO... I HAD NEW BOOTS... AND EVEN A HAT... MY DEAR OLD DADDY... HAD SEEN TO THAT...... THE FAMILY HORSE..... I WASN'T AFRAID... TO RIDE DOWN THE STREET.... IN THE GRAND PARADE.... IT WAS VERY HOT... THAT MONTH OF JULY.... I MUST LOOK GOOD.... I HAD TO TRY.... A NICE SLEEVLESS SHIRT.... WOULD BE A NICE TOUCH... IF I HAD THE MONEY... IT WOULDN'T COST MUCH.... I LOOKED FOR A TOP... THEN, LOOKED FOR ANOTHER... I FOUND A WESTERN SHIRT... THAT BELONGED TO MY BROTHER... I CUT OUT THE SLEEVES I DID IT REAL FAST... NEVER KNOWING BACK THEN.... THE MEMORY WOULD LAST... MY BROTHER WOULD REMEMBER.... OF THAT SMALL DEED.... I DID ON THAT DAY.... BECAUSE OF MY GREED.... CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME... WHEN I MADE SUCH A MESS... THAT SUMMER I MADE... YOUR SHIRT, SLEEVELESS..... |
