I LIKE (What I've Got)
Waddie Mitchell - Brenn Hill


Verse 1:
I like friendly fellas and confident ladies
Tough hearted horses, strong coffee and babies
Cow dogs that mind well and tough jobs getting done
A pardner with knack to make work fun

I like a good saddle and chicken fried steaks
A truck that never quits and a rope that never breaks
A well loaded pack string that stays head to tail
A good lead cow that always takes the right trail

Chorus:
And it don't take much to please me
I find myself wanting for not
I'm happy, I'm healthy
I may not be wealthy
But Lord I love what I've got

I like silver bridles and hand-braided reins
Mane hair mecates and swivel rein chains
A good shoeing outfit and a teepee that don't leak
Custom made boots and dry socks for my feet

I like the wild remnants that need to be roped
When plans come together the way that I hoped
A camp without rattlers and a creek without thorns 
Neck rag you can wrap twice and cattle with horns

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
So deal me a straight suit with a fair chance to win
Tell me a joke that don't offend
Give me some long shank spurs, a sharp pocketknife
And Lord let me keep this way of life

Final Chorus
