But it is a Cowboy Bar. A Cowboy Bar in the hometown of Cowboys. The seat of the University of Wyoming. Where men are men and women are glad. Where the lonesome prairie sky sings to men and their horses.
Cattlemen live in Texas.
Cowboys prefer Wyoming. A friend of mine who grew up in Laramie told me about the Buckhorn Tavern. It is a place where Cowboys get drunk and try to commit suicide by shooting at the mirror behind the bar. Don't question it, it's just the Cowboy way. My friend's father went to the Buckhorn, and so did her grandfather.
