Henry Miller Wild West Weekend

SHOT DOWN

By Omaha Outlaw

I got my rig, and I'm ready to shoot

My cowboy hat, and a new pair of boots

Shirt and pants, and a real fancy vest

I know in my mind, I'm as good as the rest

Load and make ready, came the command

Drop in my bullets, with my shaky right hand

Shooter on the line, Shooter SET!

My mouth is dry and my palms are wet

The light came on, and I let her fly

Oh my god! My shot went high

What went wrong, that ran through my mind

I did it so perfect, time after time

This time for sure, they will all watch in awe

They gave the command, a lightening fast draw

Now that's a good shot, I was standing there thinking

but when the smoke cleared, their light was blinking

Here I am standing, my ego a mess

When I looked at his chaps, it was really a dress

Off came the hat, and down came the curls

Then it really sank in, I got beat by a girl!

She stuck out her hand, and I swallowed my pride

She gave me a smile, at least a mile wide

I stood there in shock, staring in awe

That's my first experience, with Cowboy Fast Draw

As I walked from the line, I mustered a grin

Given the chance, I'll do it again

I'm practicing real hard, and I'm here to warn ya

I'll see you in October, in Los Banos, California!

GUNFIGHT IN OUR TOWN

By Big John Skinner

The news is out, the word's spread around,
there's some Gunfighters comin', to our little town

They're comin' for glory, they're comin' for fame,
from all parts of the country, to the place with our name

To see who's the fastest, who's quick on the draw,
with speed like lightnin', they'll leave you in awe

It's the first time ever, that they've gathered here,
to be the next legend, of far and near

They'll do it with honor, so have no fear,
they all come in peace, to settle it here

When they step to the line, and hear the command,
"Load and Make Ready", they'll make their stand

To face off each other, with a mighty fast hand,
it's a sight to behold, in a moment so grand

There's men of all ages, and women folk too,
strappin' on a six gun, to do this for you

Three days of the competition, something different each day,
to hold up the honor, of The Cowboy Way

Fables will be started, and stories will be told,
of all those Gunslingers, with ambition so bold

So when the dust has all settled, and the crowd has dispersed,
remember it was here, that you seen it first

And when people are talking, asking where you've been,
You can tell them with pride, the town of Los Banos, at the
Henry Miller Wild West Weekend!
