Hey Cowboy, Wanna Get Lucky? — Baxter F. Black

The bestselling novel from America's premier cowboy poet.
 
Cowboys Lick and Cody are on a quest to qualify for the rodeo national finals -- and their widely entertaining, often hilarious adventure includes a smattering of sex, violence, intrigue, and the occasional philosophical rumination. These modern-day cowpokes -- two chivalrous knights of the rope and range with a hankering for bucking broncos and for the female of the two-legged species -- find much more than they bargained for in Oklahoma City. Against the colorful, flamboyant backdrop of the hard-ridin', hard-playin' rodeo circuit, they encounter a city woman named Lilac, with whom Cody falls in love; a bull named Kamikaze; and two corrupt Texas billionaires who bet against Lick. In the vein of a latter-day Will Rogers, Baxter Black combines a colorful yarn with occasional bits of his unique cowboy philosophy and poetry.
