Song Description

A working cowboy remembers his grandfather's last words.

Lyrics

The cowboy he hustles as the wind it rustles
Thru a canyon outside San Antoine
He walks by his horse, and pats him of course
And looks back at his camp he calls home

He calls to his Aussie, a blue-merle named Bossie
She runs up and sits by his side.
Reaching down with his hand, he pets his best friend
Says together, forever we?ll ride

Chorus

He remembers what he?d heard, in his Grandpa?s last words
As he knelt down, soft by his side
He said a cowboys only home, is the prairie and loam
Out under the clear western sky.

Later that night, by the campfire light
As the coyotes sing to the moon
He thinks of his gal, and wishes somehow
That her arms would be holding him soon.

Lays his head on his saddle, sings to the cattle
out under the full-moon lit night
His words are so wholesome, but his voice is so lonesome
that even the cattle sigh

Chorus.

He remembers what he?d heard, this Grandpa?s last words
As he knelt down soft by his side
Said a cowboys only home, is the prairie and loam
Out under the clear western sky.
So don?t be a grieven?, and don?t stop believin?,
Just let this cowboy ride.
