RIDE COWBOY RIDE
Ride cowboy ride, the life you chose was hard;
From the early mornin’ til’ the night announced the stars.
The great, wide open spaces was the only life you loved.
Ropin’, ridin’, brandin’ was the passion in your blood.
Ride cowboy ride, each day was all the same;
Cattle still need feedin’ in the sunshine or the rain.
Windmills that ain’t pumpin’ don’t know one day from the rest,
But you know you must keep going for the man deserves your best
Ride cowboy ride, the years have come and gone,
It seems your steps are slower and your hands are not as strong.
It takes a little longer to saddle up that old gray mare;
Your eyes are growing dimmer and there’s silver in your hair.
Slowing down for you cowboy was not an easy choice;
For the thing you really loved was your saddle and your horse.
But your days of brandin’ cattle have slowly passed away
And you spent your hours in memories of those precious bygone days.
So saddle up now cowboy and ride that one last ride,
The Lord is callin’ you to your mansion in the sky.
Ride cowboy ride, we’ll be seeing you again
Our love to you forever, Husband, Daddy, Papaw, Friend.
