Analysis of Cowboy dreams
Once upon time in the land of cowboy dreams
Little girls had hero's to protect from bad guy schemes
Each and every week she sits to watch his smile
Knowing he will rescue her in a little while,
Virgin hearts so innocent, as they try to twist her mind
All she does is wait and hope for hero's are so kind,
But her dreams turned into nightmares, when he was sadly gone
The only one she's ever loved, that would never do her wrong
But fairies came to find her and brought her love once more
For little kids can see them, where as adults shut the door
As long as she can feel him, and he can hold her hand
She can disappear to his heaven wonderland ,
No matter how her brain is lied to, and is so very bruised,
Don't matter how her body aches how badly its abused
for she has a special man that's always by her side
Now she wants to thank him as she no longer needs to hide,
When she looks back to those times of hurt and agony
That little girl who's loved him all her life is now set free!
