Sneakers and Spurs
Copyright 1997 - Will Pete
Hiking and camping in Hill Country near Bandera, Tx., sitting under a tree with my notepad and guitar, my peaceful solitude was interupted by the clamor of horses' hooves. To my delight two of the woman riders dismounted and stopped to talk and listen to some of my songs. The woman I was most attracted to had red hair and the other had a pair of spurs strapped to her sneakers. Peculiar, at least for a lover of TV westerns, but functional. We had a nice chat and as they rode away, I rode with them in this song.

WELL I PULLED UP TO HER IN MY BLACK MUSTANG
SHE WAS HITCHIN A RIDE, I ASKED HER NAME
RED SHE GRINNED KINDA SPUNKY AND CUTE
AND WITH A STETSON SMILE SHE SAID I'M HEADED FOR KLUTE
I KICKED OPEN THE DOOR, WELL THAT'S MY TOWN
COME RIDE WITH ME AND I'LL SHOW YOU AROUND
SHE TOSSED HER GEAR IN THE BACK KINDA EASY AND SURE
AND WITH HER COWGIRL FRILLS, SHE WORE SNEAKERS AND SPURS
SNEAKERS AND SPURS AND A BLACK MUSTANG
COWGIRL FRILLS GOOD AS FORTUNE AND FAME
RIDE LIKE THE WIND A COWGIRL FREE
WITH HER SNEAKERS AND SPURS, SHE WAS THE GIRL FOR ME
WELL WE DID THE TOWN AND WE TALKED OF THE ROAD
WITH A TEAR IN HER EYE SHE SAID ITS TIME TO GO
SHE HELD ME TIGHT SAID THERE'S PLACES TO SEE
AND IN THE WARMTH OF A KISS SHE SAID COME RIDE WITH ME
WELL I QUIT MY JOB, BOUGHT SOME SNEAKERS AND SPURS
WE WERE PEAS IN A POD, KINDA HIS AND HERS
TURNED THAT MUSTANG WEST IN THE CALM OF HIGH NOON
CAUGHT THE WIND IN OUR HAIR, TURNED OUR DREAMS TO THE MOON
SNEAKERS AND SPURS AND A BLACK MUSTANG
COWGIRL FRILLS GOOD AS FORTUNE AND FAME
RIDE LIKE THE WIND A COWGIRL FREE
WITH HER SNEAKERS AND SPURS, SHE WAS THE GIRL FOR ME
