All I Need

Sittin' in the saloon

A purty woman wants a poke

I told her I'm leaving at high noon

And all I need is my Powerstroke

 

All I need is my breath

My truck and life

Maybe some day a wife

But right now I've got what I need

 

My buddies laugh at my old rod

I don't mind and catch more than them

The thing I need most is God

 

All I need is my breath

My truck and life

Maybe some day a wife

But right now I've got what I need

 

I've heard of New York

I don't need those lights

I've got my ranch work

I've got better nights

 

Those California girls are pretty

But I'm fine with my baby

There ain't no need to smother in pity

Maybe you'll understand just maybe

 

I need Texas, and Texas needs me

Why can't you just see

All I need is my breath

My truck and life

Maybe some day a wife

But right now I've got what I need

This was good! I liked how you showed wisdom throughout the poem. That's not something you find too often, because people are usually focusing on "different things" of this world. And you included God in it, which made it even better! Great job. I really liked the poem!

"I need Texas, and Texas needs me
Why can't you just see "
I like the poem a lot. A wise man is content with what is near. Old wise words. The other side of the fence may look better. Most times it is not. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

Throw some guitar, fiddle, mandolin and a banjo behind these words I do believe you have a hit.
