A Country Song

#A_Country_Song

A beautiful song I wrote a few days ago.
It’s about the Western spirit — cowboys, freedom, and country music.

Since the 1990s, I have been fascinated by Western movies.
I grew up watching Bud Spencer and Terence Hill in their wonderful Spaghetti Cowboy films — the European Western comedies that brought laughter and warmth to the dusty plains.
Their classics, such as They Call Me Trinity (1970) and Trinity Is Still My Name (1971), defined an era of joyful brotherhood and heroic humor.

Then came the American Westerns — vast, poetic, and filled with silence and dust — led by Clint Eastwood, the stoic cowboy of A Fistful of Dollars (1964), The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), and later Unforgiven (1992), a masterpiece of redemption and solitude.
Before him stood giants like John Wayne, in Stagecoach (1939) and The Searchers (1956), and Gary Cooper, the moral sheriff of High Noon (1952).
Together, they carved the myth of the frontier — courage, loneliness, justice, and the eternal sunset of the Wild West.

And as the screen faded to the sound of wind and hooves, I discovered another world — the world of music that gave the West its heartbeat: Country music.
Its roots in Jimmie Rodgers and The Carter Family in the 1920s, and its soul in Hank Williams of the 1940s.

Then came the golden age — the voice of Johnny Cash, “The Man in Black,” with Ring of Fire and Folsom Prison Blues;
the tenderness of Dolly Parton in Jolene;
the poetic rebellion of Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings;
the storytelling grace of Kenny Rogers and Merle Haggard;
the power of Loretta Lynn, George Jones, and Tammy Wynette — the heartbeat of American soil.

And through the years, the flame lived on —
in Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, and Tim McGraw;
in Faith Hill, Keith Urban, and Brad Paisley;
and in the new voices — Chris Stapleton, Kacey Musgraves, and Luke Combs — who carry the spirit of the cowboy into the twenty-first century.

I have loved every note, every word, every story of the West —
from the gunsmoke of the old saloons to the steel strings of Nashville guitars.

This song is my tribute to all those artists —
the filmmakers, the cowboys, and the musicians
who turned the legend of the West
into a timeless melody of courage and dreams.

LYRICS :

It’s a country song
For girls and boys
So deep, so strong,
Breaking the noise.

A western sunrise,
Smiling with joy,
From dust you rise,
A fearless cowboy.

Traveling for days,
Riding your horse,
Dreaming always,
Driven by force.

Oh yes, I do,
I dreamed of you.
Oh yes, you do,
You love me too.
