But first place gold ain't ever gonna rust
It's been years since he saddled up
Slapped those reins, felt that rush
I went to see him one last time.
He was on the far side of 89
when I draw my last breath,
this cowboy's going to ride.
He said, when Jesus pulls
the freight train bull that never gave me
We'll take off down those streets of gold
That are lined with folks that
They'll cheer me on as I go flying by
Said it takes me out of the pain I'm in
From the Bronx I broke, they busted me
From Houston up to Calgary
When I leave this world behind
When Jesus pulls those pearly gates
The freight train bull that
Will be waiting to give me one more try
We'll take off down those streets of gold
That are lined with folks
That are lined with folks
and they'll cheer me on as I
Son, just know when it's my time to go,
when the good Lord calls me home.
This cowboy's going to ride.
This cowboy's going to ride.
If opportunity thank accompanying journey.
