Rodeo's all gone from this old cowboy 
D                            A7          D 
He'll be leavin' friends and family here behind 
G                 A                      D 
In a long drought he'll be crossing over Jordan

And Jesus called him home, it was his time 


D                    G 
And if Heaven needs a cowboy 
D                       A 
They're gettin' the top hand 
D                    G 
One good horse on a thousand hills

He'll be ridin' for the brand

And if the pearly gates can't hold the cattle 
D             A        G 
He'll get 'em roped and tied

I hope there's a piece of the Promised Land for cowboys when they die

Left his saddle to my sister, gave his spurs to my firstborn 
D                   G                    D                  A 
And I know I should rejoice, but still my heart it has been torn 
G                     A               D    A       G 
And I know he will be smilin' when he sees his dad again 
D                     G                A                 D 
And his mama with her lovin' arms will welcome him right in
