S Lazy H |
I was born in this valley |
On this ranch I was raised |
I learned to lope, rope, and dally |
On the S Lazy H |
The roots of my people |
They run deep on this place |
I am sixth generation |
On the S Lazy H |
When it came to the future |
I never gave it a thought |
If there were broncs to be broken |
Endless steers to be caught |
My youth, it was carefree |
For the work was my play |
And what I loved would always be there |
On the S Lazy H |
I had one beloved sister |
A few years younger than me |
Before a sole cowboy had kissed her |
She left for school in the east |
Me, I might have gone to college |
I might have liked to fly planes |
But my dad needed help |
To run the S Lazy H |
So I worked there alongside him |
Put a lot of years in this place |
And I gained appreciation |
For the lines on his face |
And when mom had grown older |
And when dad passed away |
It fell to me to look after |
The S Lazy H |
By now my sister, she had married |
A sharp attorney at school |
We didn’t see eye to eye |
But I did my best to make peace |
What did they see when they over |
Over the fence one fine day |
They saw a whole lot of value |
In the S Lazy H |
So after thought and assessment |
The court awarded them half |
And no cow-calf operation |
Carries that kind of cash |
Well I worked through the numbers |
Worked them every which way |
Yeah I went through the numbers |
Oh, and boys I’m afraid |
I had to sell twenty sections |
Of the S Lazy H |
Sometimes right isn’t equal |
Sometimes equal’s not fair |
There will soon be rows of houses |
On that ridge over there |
Many lifetimes of labor |
Will be all but erased |
Shed a tear and look skyward |
God help the S Lazy H |
The last few years were a struggle |
But I gave it my best |
And I tried to go forward |
On the land that was left |
I have lived with the sorrow |
And I will die with the shame |
For now the bank owns what’s left |
Of the S Lazy H |
