I’m a proud and thankful cowboy; who has just passed away. It’s hard to know but I’m happy now; I’m now ridin’ God’s trails High up in the sky; the horse I’m riding don’t spook, buck or kick. God’s stable has perfect horses and now I have picked one. Lord please forgive me of all my sins; I haven’t been perfect but, who believes in you, rides forever! I’m coming home Agnes. I’m coming home; please don’t be sad Friends and family. I’ve lived a long life going home now to be with my first true love; Going home. Happy Trails. -Debi
