Lord, This old cowboy don't know what ta' do,
I'm battered, broken and worn clear through.
I still have the desire ta' keep on goin'
But my body says whoa and ma' age is showin'
I don't fear gettin' older, cuz that's what we do,
It's been a good life, my thanks to you.
But there's still some trails I'd like to ride
Before I pass over that great divide.
Just a little more time is all I ask.
With your mercy, that shouldn't be a big task.
When I leave this old world I love so much,
Take me to a place where's there's horses and such,
I want ta' go where old cowboys roam
And ride the range of ma' heavenly home.
Lord, I know ya' have more important things ta' do,
Jus' thot' it was time I had a talk with you.
