"The Last Ride" One tough ol’ cowboy; a strong, upright man, He rode many years for the Lazy "H" brand. One ev’nin, quite late, as he rode out from town Some bandits, they jumped him; threw him straight to the ground “Your Treasure!”, they cursed, “Or you’ll surely be dead!” And when he refused, they were quick with the lead. A slug in his hip, near the heart, through a lung Then they left him for dead, but he weren’t yet undone. Climbing back on his horse, he vowed one last fight, And touching a spur, he rode into the night. Back at the ranch were the loved ones he’d guarded But he knew deep inside that soon they’d be parted. He was one tough ol’ cowboy; yes, tougher than hide, But concerning his family, he was all soft inside. The pain ... almost blinding, his breath nearly gone But with unfinished business, he had to press on! His kin sensed his struggle, but there was nothing to do ‘Til that cowboy rode in and looked over his crew. Anxious, they watched as he surveyed his place Then he smiled his approval; Pride in his face. For the barn door was shut, the fences all mended The mangers were full; just like he’d intended. There just weren’t much more for his rough hands to do So he turned in the saddle and bid them adieu. Neither trying to stop him nor wantin’ him gone They silently watched as he rode toward the dawn. His breath now came easy, the pain gone away Ridin’ high in tall grass on a bright summer day. When he’d rubbed down his mount and made sure he was fed, He heard, “Well done cowboy!” And turning his head There stood his Savior with arms open wide. “You made them all proud when you made that last ride!”
