Oh This is So Much Fun
By Richard Maxfield
2-1-2000

Cowboys and Drunks all around 
Come here to lay their money down
They louse them self and some self-respect
Gaze in a bottle and reflect
Boast of things and tell a few lies
While mates at home wonder and cry
So much innocence has been lost in this place
You can see it in ,hard lines in their face 
How many marriages, how many homes
How much true love, set free to roam
So many cheats and things not meant
Never going home, all the nights not spent
How many kids miss Mom or Dad
To many kids alone and sad
Oh this is so much fun
Tomorrow, wondering what they’ve done
All the fake smiles, snakes in the grass
You can’t find love, not in a glass
The years and the beers fly by, they wake alone
Dream of a time when they had a home
