LYRICS

Verse 1
In Southern Colorado among the big horn and the deer
Live two young buckaroos, Shade and Sharp
Brothers by blood, cowboys by choice
Loving their momma and hard work

Verse 2
Just like their Daddy who is like his daddy too
Well rounded cowpokes, strong and smart
Like any good ranchers, they carry a rope
And that lasso has a hold of their heart

CHORUS
They love a roping, Their always a roping
Their dreaming, scheming, thinking bout a ropin’
1.Ropin chairs, ropin goats, ropin dogs an old fence post
2.Ropin snakes Roping sticks, roping cows Ropin chickens
3.Ropin momma, ropin dad, whatever they can rope and get their rope back
No jokin, their always a ropin

Verse 3
Learning everyday, math and history
College bound for sure their mommas says
Maybe one day, a lawyer or an accountant
But that look deep in their eye says no way

Verse 4
Hey brother, lets throw a leg over
Swing a loop, turn a steer
Both good enough to rope either end
Sharp on the head Shade on the heel

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Their obsession and compulsion can be traced in their genetics when Gramps set out to working on a ranch
Then along came their dad, aunt JoJo and Uncle Walter all roping at the drop of a hat
There was the Cowboy Toy and the Fast Lane Dummy, that Little Black Steer & Scuba Steve
Buckets of sand in Granny's garden, "Clown In The Arena"

Now cant you just hear it that announcer getting all excited
“If you ask me these two young fellas are in a prime position for that gold buckle
a good time here and they’ll be right there in the hunt
From Fowler, Colorado, Sharp and Shade Schalla”

CHORUS
