Story Behind The Song

The inspiration (besides my friend) is those bumper stickers and T-shirts that say things like "old golfers never die they just etc." We've all seen them.

Song Description

This song is a way of saying that I will never forget my old friend who is nolonger with us. A form of denial I suppose.

Lyrics

If I listen to the wind I swear I hear a voice
It sounds just like my old friend I knew when we were boys
He?s out there riding fences somewhere in the rain
With a whistle in the wind that tells me he?s alright
And a cowboy never dies

Chorus
He may go down in a blaze of glory
Somewhere out on the range
But he?ll just ride off into the sunset
And never be seen again
Cause he never liked them long goodbyes
And I know he?s out there right now
On a lonely lonely lonely lonesome ride
?Cause there?s a whistle in the wind that tells me he?s alright
And a cowboy never dies.

v2
So if you see a wild rose against an autumn sky
Think about my old friend and tell I said hi
He?s out there riding shotgun
Somewhere on the trail
With a whisper in the wind that tells me he?s alright
And a cowboy never dies

Chorus two times ??..tag ??..end.
