Ed Bryant you know how Greg liked those Cowboy songs, and he was one of the select few who know that I write them. I sent him a home recorded CD of some I'd written and he enjoyed getting it.
I told him I would write one about him.... and I did. We were to meet at Quemado where he would hear it, but he didn't make it and I just forgot about it.
It took awhile this A M but I finally recalled one verse of it:
"This trail I've come down is rocky and rough, flanked by cactus and thorn
They're the dues that you pay, for living each day, in the place where the Devil was born.
I think of the mountains I once called my home
And I think of the seas that I've sailed
When I've finished my race, I'll die in this place
That's next door to Heaven and Hell”
Thank you, Gene. That sounds like him, for sure.
Ed
