Backstory:

This was recorded at Gator Hole by Gale Breen with Jeff Carson on Vocals.  We own the Master. 
It also was a 'maybe' on a SongU pitch for the Bluewater Cowboys and a pitch to Raining Horseshoes.

ROPING  THE  WIND
                 C2009 Karel Daniels/Rich Davis

When he was just in nursery school
He knew what he was born to do
He would saddle up and ride away
Like those cowboys of yesterday
Dreams of ridin’ in the rodeo
Bustin’ broncs in the snow
With one hand tight on his broomstick mare 
The other swinging in the air

	Roping the wind – Where the mustangs run free
	Roping the wind – That’s where he wants to be
	With the twist of his wrist – And a big ol’ grin
	He’s Roping the wind

Now he works at his job downtown
No open spaces for miles around
The closest thing to a cattle drive
Is the ride to his nine-to-five
But, there’s no dirt on his office floor
So he closes the door
He leans back in that leather chair 
Throws one arm in the air

(repeat chorus)

One day he’s gonna do it
Grab a hold of the reins
Ride off into the western sun
But until then…He’ll be

Roping the wind – Where the mustangs run free
Roping the wind – That’s where he wants to be
Roping the wind – Trail dust in his hair 
Roping the wind – Aw, he wished he was there
With a twist of his wrist – And a big ol’ grin
He’s Roping the wind
