He rides off into the sunset once more
A journey filled with some regret
A trailblazer, of sorts, that rode shore to shore
He thinks back to those that he met
The dreamers, the doers, the crazies, the plain
The strangers, the divas, the friends
But come this day’s end, now never again
Will the road be where his life depends

His saddle shall be hung by fire at day’s parting
His boots by the door, at long last
His eyes shall point towards a future that’s dawning
With just memories of days in the past
Awaiting, his love, ever patient and kind
E’er grateful his journey concludes
For tho, she has always been on his mind
Distance oft marred their life’s interludes

The day and the cowboy shall ride off at last
Tho parting is not left in sorrow
His time from his love is now all but past
And he looks towards a brighter tomorrow
A place in the clouds, nestled warm and dry
Where, at last, he shall always remain
So much can be said for that life that’s passed by
As the cowboy rides home once again
