A CHDC

Stopped in Amarillo by morning

Coffee to go

On my way to the Dalhart show

Driving down old Tascosa Road

I see our heritage

at the Boys Ranch rodeo

(AI phrasing — keep “Boys Ranch rodeo” flowing together)

Crossing county lines

West Texas rollin’ by

Landmarks passin’ left and right

Bivins and L I T are slippin’ outta sight

As I reached for another gear

Felt a shiver of the West

X I T mark on that Channing courthouse

That land still burns in our chest

Like a scar we can’t forget

So I stayed on 87

But the farmer is movin’ slow

As I pass through Hartley

And move on down the road

Now I’m crossing one more county line

To make the show

⸻

Pullin’ into Dalhart

I could see the muscle in the street

Chrome flashin’ in that blacktop heat

But underneath, the land was screamin’

Where horsepower and heritage meet

⸻

Let it idle

(AI sound effect — subtle classic muscle car throttle blip under music)

Now let it rip

Feel the brand

Small-town power kick

Every car here chasin’ a little bit of fame

They all want a trophy with the DALHART CRUZERS name

⸻

One lucky ticket

I was holdin’ the keys

The ultimate trophy

Starin’ at me

It’s time for a cruise

We’re headin’ for the door

West Texas horsepower cries out for more

DALHART CRUZERS in the night

Drivin’ through small-town traffic lights

(AI spoken outro — NOT sung — slow southern Texas drawl)

“DALHART CRUZERS… where horsepower and community still ride together.”
