Cowboy's Last Ride
Ooo woo hoooo
Ooo woo hoooo
Hunched over the fire like a gnarled icon
Of a west forgotten
But far, far from gone
Tobacco yellowed fingers hold a slow cup of Joe
Stirring up memories from long, long ago
Silver buckle pride wrapped as tight as a knot
Put out to pasture and then forgot
Fading away just a little more each day
This was never meant to be the cowboy way
There's just so many sunsets that we're given
And always one last trail he must ride
Cowboys know, that when it's time to die
The closest place to heaven
Is under a clear prairie sky
Yippee kai yi yay
It's time to head home
And this last trail
He must ride alone
He's seen more summers than he ever thought he would
Thinking back, he'll say you know that life was pretty good
He knows every drive's got to come to an end
When there ain't any more fences to mend
So he makes it back to his favorite trail
Watch the stars a dancing and hear coyotes wail
There's just so many sunsets that we're given
And always one last trail he must ride
Cowboys know, that when it's time to die
The closest place to heaven
Is under a clear prairie sky
Ooo woo hoooo
Ooo woo hoooo
Ooo woo hoooo
Ooo woo hoooo
Ooo woo hoooo
Hunched over the fire like a gnarled icon
Of a west forgotten
But far, far from gone
Tobacco yellowed fingers hold a slow cup of Joe
Stirring up memories from long, long ago
Silver buckle pride wrapped as tight as a knot
Put out to pasture and then forgot
Fading away just a little more each day
This was never meant to be the cowboy way
There's just so many sunsets that we're given
And always one last trail he must ride
Cowboys know, that when it's time to die
The closest place to heaven
Is under a clear prairie sky
Yippee kai yi yay
It's time to head home
And this last trail
He must ride alone
He's seen more summers than he ever thought he would
Thinking back, he'll say you know that life was pretty good
He knows every drive's got to come to an end
When there ain't any more fences to mend
So he makes it back to his favorite trail
Watch the stars a dancing and hear coyotes wail
There's just so many sunsets that we're given
And always one last trail he must ride
Cowboys know, that when it's time to die
The closest place to heaven
Is under a clear prairie sky
Ooo woo hoooo
Ooo woo hoooo
Ooo woo hoooo
Ooo woo hoooo
