An American Celebration

Celebrating the olden days Smells wafting through the air As food cooks on the campfire For everyone to share Folks dressed up in historic attire Long dresses and western hats Suspenders over broad shoulders Long ago in the past is where it was at Belts slung low on the hips Weighted down with a gun The sound of music in the air Western music is what is sung The façade of an old western town Just like it was so long ago A wonderful day and into evening When the campfire began to glow I hope someday you can visit As you travel through to a destination And put yourself in the past just once At this great American celebration
