Lyrics

Grandpa taught me how to ride On a buckskin mare when I was five He told me the way of life was in my blood I learned the ropes, how to hold the reins When I got thrown, had to hide the pain Heโ€™d give me the eye, and Iโ€™d get back up And these days I donโ€™t know if heโ€™s rounding up a herd of cattle Or going for 8 in his old bronc saddle Or teaching a young buck a hard learned well earned lesson I don't know if heโ€™s roaming around just to pass the time, somewhere up there on the other side, Checking a fence line just as the sun is setting But yโ€™all Iโ€™m sure, that heโ€™s riding horse in heaven Stubborn strong thicker skin Iโ€™m who I am cuz of him Teaching this girl all that cowboy stuff You may say may he rest peace But he aint resting if you ask me If I know him, heโ€™s up there kicking up dust I think the angels must have wanted a helping hand And they needed a cowboy not just any man
