The Promise of Thomas The promise of Thomas Wyo, Craig Thomas, Cowboys and The Marines Are some of the greatest dam things, this our country has ever seen Walk soft, But, carry a big heart . . . A straight shooter, The Promise of Thomas Surely, this was Craig's greatest of parts . . . as what his life so surely means A cowboy, from the great wide west A hero who worn the uniform, A Marine . . . one of America's Best Then, upon House and Senate floors . . . as a legislator . . . his state and country he'd bless He was so kind, and ever so cool . . . He was nobody's patsy nor anybody's fool, following The Golden Rule Understated, not complicated . . . just the way God created, a beautiful calm western scene A Father and a Friend, A Devoted and Loving Husband . . . As has been this life of a patriot, time and again . . . A man of the land, For nature and wildlife he'd take a stand . . . Like a beautiful Yellow Stone sunset . . . as was so this man A leader of woman and man, A quiet, and classy kind of guy . . . like a Gary Cooper he'd stride . . . Making many a fan, under control, a thoughtful soul, as wherever you'd find honor . . . he'd stand For he was as real as it gets, The happiest, when in his cowboy boots and hat, in his jeans and belt buckle . . .
