His Conscience Don't Bother Him Poem by Paul Henry Dallaire

A cowboy's last ride

A cowboy don't like big Ol cities
His religion is one of a kind
He'll sing you a song about the country
'Bout a drunk and a bottle of wine

He'll preach and he'll talk about heartaches
About a woman who'se done her man wrong
But he won't confess he's just like the rest
He wrote her that one special song

Chorus:
His conscience don't bother him
He has none as far as I know
But he'll love you and leave you
For the lights of the big rodeo

Verse:
Someday that same cowboy will wander
In the pastures where old cowboys ride
In his saddle he'll sit and will ponder
Of the days he was riding high

His reflection he'll see in the mirror
And the fact is no more can he ride
His last days will be as a dreamer
In the shadows of memories gone by

Chorus:
His conscience don't bother him
He has none as far as I know
Cause he'll love you and leave you
For the lights of the big rodeo
End.
