An Ode to Us All, Larry Williams
Adapted from my favorite real cowboy singer Chris Ledoux:
I was a new kid on the circuit
Wall Street dreams in my eyes
But the trade I took was plenty rank
Much to my surprise
It did a double reverse split
I landed on my head
Then an old trader limped out of the pit
Leaned over me and said
You gotta cowboy up
When your stocks tank and go down
Get right back in the saddle
As soon as they hit the ground
You heard that the tough get goin'
When the goin' gets tough
Around here what we say is
Boy you better cowboy up
By the end of last quarter
They said I was among the best
So I proudly went to see the boss
Hopin' he would be impressed
But he said I was through
My volatility was far too high
so he gave my job to better dressed guy
But before the first tear could fall
These words came back again
You gotta cowboy up
When your stocks tank and go down
Get right back in the saddle
As soon as they hit the ground
You heard that the tough get goin'
When the goin' gets tough
Around here what we say is
Boy you better cowboy up
Well its not an easy lesson
To stay with the drift
But its the only way to go
Whenever you bite the dust

Cowboy up:
just ahead of the orange rex re-election, who knew.
