This song is an observation on the pathways of the Longhorns at Cold Copper Ranch. Inspired by ideas suggested by Mike Smith, there's a reminder here that the paths of life will sometimes swerve, but the ride is worth it.
lyrics
It’s gonna be a longhorn day
We all got things get in our way
Y’ know the path we often take is full of twists and turns
You may swerve and deviate
Off that straight and narrow way
But if your goal’s the watering hole you know’ll you’ll return
I was a little lost lamb til she took my hand
And she showed me the path to the promised land
And then I took a while to walk that country mile and now it seems
Somewhere in the getting there
The trail turns serpentine
But keep your tail upon the trail and the live that longhorn dream
Cus it’s gonna be a longhorn day, ooh, ooh, ooh
It’s gonna be a longhorn day, ooh, ooh, ooh
It’s not a matter of an if
But a when
Sooner or later you’re gonna end up ‘round a bend
And you’ll look back from there and say
How did I get here anyway?
It had to be a longhorn day, ooh, ooh, ooh
It's gonna be a longhorn day, ooh, ooh, ooh
It's gonna be a longhorn day, ooh, ooh, ooh
It's gonna be a longhorn day, ooh, ooh, ooh
