(dedicated to my father who passed away)

The cowboy, watch him ride away
into the sunset, into the day
the cowboy rides his cares away
he does'nt have much left to say.
he has seen his days of one night stands
honkey tonks & redneck bands
gambling fever,dice in hands
which way your' life turns is where it lands.
the cowboy, watch him ride along
in the sunrise he sings his song
he's not cheating, doing no-one wrong
the path he chose is rough and long
the cowboy, no regrets, no strife
he is at peace with his life
the cowboy
will just say good-bye
and know that he will never die,
the cowboy he has flown so high
his years are gone, no need to try.
the cowboy dont you ask him why
a single tear fell from his eye,
the cowboy says' his last goodbye,
as he rides along into the sky,
into the sky.....
