FATE OF A CHAMPION
THE NIGHT OF THE RODEO
DREW VERY NEAR
HE THOUGHT OF LONG AGO
NOT FROM HERE
HE REMEMBERS WATCHING THE ARENA
AND SEEING HIS FATHER WIN
HE THEN REMEMBERS TRINA
HIS MOTHER WHO DIED WHEN HE WAS TEN
HIS FATHER HAD WON THE RODEO
WITH HIS MIGHTY SKILL
THEN THE BULL DOUBLE ZERO
CAME IN FOR THE KILL
BUT THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO
WHEN BILLY WAS ONLY SEVENTEEN
HE HAS HAD A LOG TIME TO GROW
AND DECIDED HE TOO WANTED TO BE A CHAAMPION
BILLY HE RODE HIM WELL
HE REALLY TRIED
HE GAVE IT HELL
AND THEN HE CRIED
EVERYONE HAD SEEN
AND ASKED WHY HE CRIED
HE SAID NOT BECAUSE I AM THE CHAMPION
BECAUSE I OWE TO MY CHAMPION WHO DIED.....

AUGUST 16TH, 1975.....
FOR A LONG TIME THESE WERE JUST WORDS ON PAPER. I WROTE THEM IN 2 MINUTES AND FELL BACK TO SLEEP....ON DECEMBER 3RD, 1982 MY FATHER DIED AND AT 4AM THAT MORNING THESE WORDS MEANT MORE TO ME THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT I HAD WROTE...
EVEN THOUGH I WAS ADOPTED BY A CUTTING HORSE TRAINER HOOT WALKER I GREW SO VERY PROUD OF HIM THAT NIGHT...HE WON THE WORLD IN 1954, 1958, 1960, AND 1962.....ALSO HE JUDGED THE CUTTING HORSE FUTURITY 5 TIMES IN A ROW...I BELIEVE THAT THIS RECORD PROBABLY STILL STANDS....IN ORDER TO JUDGE THAT EVENT YOU HAD TO BE VOTED IN BY YOUR PEERS...IT WAS AN HONOR TO ME THAT MY FATHER WAS SO THOUGHT OF BY THE OTHER CUTTING HORSE PEOPLE....
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THESE DAYS BECAUSE OF THE N.C.H.A.(NATIONAL CUTTING HORSE ASSOCIATION), I BELIEVE THAT THEY OWE MY FATHER AN HONOR THAT MY MOTHER OF 80 COULD BE PROUD OF BEFORE SHE DIES.....
ALSO MY DAD HAULED HORSES ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES.....THE PEOPLE HE HAULED FOR GAVE HIM THE GREATEST OF RESPECT BECAUSE HE TREATED THEIR HORSES AS IF THEY WERE HIS OWN....I GAINED MOST OF MY EDUCATION BEING WITH HIM ON THE ROAD WHEN I WAS SIX UNTIL I WAS 22....I CAN NEVER GIVE THIS MAN WHO ADOPTED ME AND GAVE ME A GREAT HOME THE ABSOLUTE RESPECT THAT I BELIEVE HE DESERVES FROM THE N.C.H.A....THEY HAVE GROWN TO A LARGE ORGANIZATION THAT I TRULY BELIEVE HAVE FORGOTTEN THE REAL MEN THAT PUT THEM ON THE MAP......I JUST WANTED TO SAY THIS SO MAYBE SOMEONE WILL READ IT AND SEE THE TRUTH FOR WHAT IT REALLY IS.......
