| Can’t Be A Cowboy | Don’t Fence Me In |
| I can remember when I was a boy Chasin’ them outlaws with Hoppe and Roy. I sure miss the old days And my home on the range. Son, ain’t it somethin’ How much things have changed. CHORUS: No, you can’t be a cowboy forever. Wearin’ six guns and buck skins and jeans. No, you can’t be a cowboy forever. And you can’t spend your life ropin’ dreams. Things started movin’ too fast for the West. Son, I had to do, what a daddy does best. I had my six guns and old cowboy boots. Now you’re into lasers and Darth Vader suits. CHORUS No, you can’t spend your life ropin’ dreams. |
Wild cap Kelly, lookin’ mighty pale Standing by the sheriff’s side. When that sheriff said, “I’m sending you to jail.” Wild cap raised his head and cried: Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above, Don’t fence me in. Let me ride through the wide open country that I love, Don’t fence me in. Let me be by myself in the evenin’ breeze, Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees, Send me off forever but I ask you please, Don’t fence me in. Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle Underneath the western skies. On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder Till I see the mountains rise. I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses Can’t look at hovels and I can’t stand fences Don’t fence me in. Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above, Don’t fence me in. Let me ride through the wide open country that I love, Don’t fence me in. Let me be by myself in the evenin’ breeze Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees Send me off forever but I ask you please, Don’t fence me in Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle Underneath the western sky On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder Till I see the mountains rise. I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses Can’t look at hobbles and I can’t stand fences Don’t fence me in. |
| Up The Winding Trail | At The End Of The Trail |
| CHORUS: Up the winding trail to heaven above Where the Savior reigns with compassion and love Where the flowers bloom and spread their sweet perfume And the birds are singing a heavenly tune. The cows in the meadow are happy to graze For God has planned it that way Everything sublime, in the sunny climb Oh, what a wonderful day when… Hand in hand together we will roam Up the golden streets to our new home Life will be so sweet, at the Savior’s feet Up the winding trail with you. Many years we’ve wandered, oh, so aimlessly through life With no hope of heaven where there comes no pain nor strife But now our thoughts are set upon that new range in the sky Where we’ll be together by and by, well… CHORUS Up the winding trail with you. |
At the end of the trail where dreams come true, We’ll live forever in the home of the blue. Then together we’ll roam ‘ore hill and vale, Just beyond the river, at the end of the trail. In God’s tomorrow, oh happy day (oh, happy day) There’ll be no sorrows (there’ll be no sorrows) no clouds of gray When eternity calls, away we’ll sail. Paradise is waiting at the end of the trail. We’ll see our loved ones who’ve gone before (loved ones gone before) Oh, glad reunion to part no more (part no more) While eternity rolls, joys will increase. When the trail will lead us to the haven of peace. Paradise is waiting at the end of the trail. |
| Trail Of Paradise | Round Up In The Sky |
| Today, I took a look in a timed worn old book And I read of a land far away. Where there’s no burning sun There’s no work to be done And the nights are as bright as the day. If you look, you will find A narrow trail that winds To a land far away in the sky. Can’t you see the Big Boss Man, Can’t you see His nail pierced hands, Pointing up, up the trail to paradise? If you look you will find A narrow trail that winds To a land far away, away in the sky. Can’t you see the Big Boss Man, Can’t you see His nail pierced hands, Pointing up, up the trail to paradise? |
Shout, Hallelujah!, at the round up in the sky Shout, Hallelujah, at the round up by and by Hear the cattle calling, hear them strays a’bawlin’ We’ll shout, Hallelujah!, at the round up in the sky. CHORUS: We’ll see the Boss Man, see the Foreman, too, Hear the cowhands talkin’, with troubled trails been through We will rest forever by that shining river When we gather at the round up in the sky. No more dusty trails, no wind and hail No more cloudy skies, no more last good-byes. We will rest forever by that shining river When we gather at the round up in the sky. REPEAT CHORUS At the round up in the sky. |
| Tumbleweed | Cool Water |
| Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds. I’m a roaming cowboy riding all day long, Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song. Nights underneath the prairie moon, I ride along and sing a tune. See them tumbling down Pledging their love to the ground Lonely but free I’ll be found Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds. CHORUS: Cares of the past are behind No where to go but I’ll find Just where the trail will wind Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds. I know when night is gone That a new world’s born at dawn. I’ll keep rolling along Deep in my heart is a song Here on the range I belong Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds. REPEAT CHORUS |
All day I face the barren waste without the taste of water, Cool water. Old Dan and I with throats burned dry and souls that cry for water, Cool, clear, water. (Chorus) Keep a movin’ Dan, don’t you listen to him Dan, he’s a devil not a man and he spreads the burnin’ sand with water. Dan can’t you see that big green tree where the water runs free and it’s waiting there for me and you The nights are cool and I’m a fool each star’s a pool of water, Cool water. But with the dawn I’ll wake and yawn and carry on to water, Cool, clear, water. (Chorus) Keep a movin’ Dan, don’t you listen to him Dan, he’s a devil not a man and he spreads the burnin’ sand with water. Dan can’t you see that big green tree where the water runs free and it’s waiting there for me and you. The shadows sway and seem to say tonight we pray for water, Cool water. And way up there He’ll hear our prayer and show us where there’s water, Cool, clear, water. (Chorus) Keep a movin’ Dan, don’t you listen to him Dan, he’s a devil not a man and he spreads the burnin’ sand with water. Dan can’t you see that big green tree where the water runs free and it’s waiting there for me and you. |
| Too Much To Gain To Lose | Where No One Stands Alone |
| Too many miles behind me Too many trials are through Too many tears help me remember There’s just too much to gain to lose. CHORUS: Too many sunsets lie behind the mountain Too many rivers my feet have walked through Too many treasures are waiting over yonder There’s just too much to gain to lose. I’ve crossed the hot burning desert Struggling the right road to choose But somewhere up ahead, there’s cool, clear water And defeat is one word I don’t use. REPEAT CHORUS There’s just too much to gain to lose. |
Once I stood in the night with my head bowed low In the darkness as black as could be And my heart felt alone and I cried, “Oh, Lord. Don’t hide Your face from me.” CHORUS: Hold my hand, all the way Every hour, every day From here to the great unknown Take my hand, let me stand Where no one stands alone. Like a king, I may live in a palace so tall With great riches to call my own But I don’t know a thing in this whole wide world That’s worse than being alone. REPEAT CHORUS Oh, take my hand, let me stand Where no one stands alone. |
