Playing into the good 'ol Texas Stereotype, I grew up on songs about the Old West and Cowboys.

Particularly, Cowboy Bill and Lonesome Dove. I made my mom sing those songs to me every night when I was little, and I remember Lonesome Dove almost like the back of my hand now.

Anyway, it wasn't until recently, did I figure out two things I never figured out in my childhood about Lonesome Dove.

1) When I was younger, I always heard "She loved a man who walrus star" instead of "She loved a man who wore a star"... And I was always confused until I actually read the lyrics later in life and realized I'm an actual idiot who thought Walrus stars were a thing that happened in the Old West.

2) In the end of the song, the Son goes up against the dudes who killed his dad, and there's this one line... This one line in particular, after the dust had cleared the street and "the men lay at the ranger's feet".

"But legend tells to this very day that shots were comin' from an alleyway. Though no one knows who held the gun, there ain't no doubt if you ask someone in Lonesome Dove."

This implies that someone else, other than the son, shot the guys. And it wasn't until recently that I figured out it was probably said Son's Mother.

Welcome to Texas, where if you murder a man- His Wife's gonna shoot you while you have a showdown with their son.

I'm an idiot, bye-
