Two cowboys future men would emulate -
One glittering, one rugged as the plains.
Tom Mix, with his charisma, was champagne,
Bill Hart was whisky, honest, strong, and straight;
The music of the West ran through their veins.
Both men were masters of the rope and reins;
Each dusty trail a cinch to navigate -
One glittering, one rugged as the plains.
Hart's focus was the "real" West, the pain
And hardships, struggles sometimes very great;
The music of the West ran through their veins.
Mix was the King of Cowboys! Flash and fame,
Glitz and action, never second-rate.
One glittering, one rugged as the plains.
WHen one thinks of the Western, both their names
are equal cause to pause and venerate;
The music of the West ran through their veins.
One glittering, one rugged as the plains.
William S Hart and Tom Mix
