Jones 02/24/2007) (song#4442) [guitar solo][spoken] Well, I was gettin' a case of the blues, so darlin' said, change the pace, cowboy, let's round up a cruise. That sounded mighty fine, so we corraled a Carnival line. To lose my frown and have some fun, we cruised in the pickup down to Galveston. To meet any situation, I dressed for the occasion. Cowboy boots, shiny shark skin western suit, bolo tie, stetson hat and things like that. I wore my long tail yellow duster to the emergency station muster. It matched the life jackets real nice. Under my duster I packed my long barrel .45's and my silver bullets. Now I'll admit I didn't have a permit, but I'd heard they shot clay pidgeons off the fantail with a lot of pull-its. We left the dock just fine. My pocket clock showed right on time, cruisin' the Gulf of Mexico on the Ecstasy. I just call the Gulf the "Texas Sea". Off we sailed. We docked at the dock in Yucatan at Progresso. Darlin' asked if I wanted to go to Merida and I said I guess so. We boarded a van and headed west. Now, I kept seein' dark eagles flyin' around, some on barb wire fences, some on the ground not lookin' the best. They showed us Merida, tried to sell us all kinds of stuff but I said no, just find that van and ride that rough road back to Progresso. I asked about them dark eagles and darlin' said come to your senses, so I did. On the way back I shot them buzzards off the barb wire fences. Well, that night was formal night, so I thought I'd do it right. Darlin' said I looked cute in my cowboy boots and shiny shark skin western suit. They didn't have no steer horns to hang my stetson hat, so I just kept it on and that was that. The mater-dee said the special was stuffed duck and wine from the south of France. But I wasn't gonna get stuck when I dine, so I didn't take no chance. I said, just bring me a big 'ol steak here and a longneck Lone Star beer. Make it a porterhouse and make it well done on the flame. Darlin' said she'd have the same. I had longneck Lone Stars 'til they started cleanin', and when I got up and the whole ship was leanin'. After supper, we went to the deck that was upper to see the entertainment. I told darlin', let's get a front row seat and she thought that was neat. It was "Extreme Country", a wild west show in the purple sage. How it happened, I don't know, but half way through they threw me off the stage. The audience was great, said I was the best part of the show. Darlin' found me at the Old Shipwreck bar with a new longneck Lone Star. Next day we docked at the dock in Cozumel. Man, it was hotter 'n, well let's just say it wasn't too cool. The captain could tell I was disappointed in Cozumel. It was flatter 'n a flapjack and ugly as sin. I swore I'd never go there again. There weren't no mountains and the lower deck was taller that the trees, but they did have good soda fountains and a balmy breeze. On the way back, I signed up for skeet shootin' off the fantail. Shootin' clay pidgeons would be neat, I could tell. They passed out twelve gauge shotguns to each contender, but I never was a big spender, so I opened my duster and twirled both long barrel 45's. I was first in line and I turned them clay pidgeons to dust in the brine. Every time they said pull-it, I nailed it with a silver bullet. Darlin' gave me a big 'ol kiss, said cowboy you never miss, you shoot straight as an arrow. I said, darlin' it's easy, them clay pidgeons are the same size as as a Texas sparrow. By the time it was over, both pull-its were broken, both barrels were smokin' and everybody was mad 'cause that was all the clay pidgeons they had. I was kinda glad when we docked at the dock back in Galveston. The Carnival folks started out real nice but now they were just like ice and said, don't even THINK of bookin' another Carnival cruise even if you could. So, darlin' and I got in the pickup truck and cruised on up to Kingwood. I said, darlin', next time we'll round up a cruise on Royal Caribbean, maybe that Texaribbean special. I'll dress for the occasion. Cowboy boots, shiny shark skin western suit, bolo tie, stetson hat and things like that. Long tail yellow duster, long barrel .45's, silver bullets.....
