Heaven's Horse
Booger I said a prayer the other day
I asked the Lord if I could keep you,
but He said you couldn't stay.
You see cowboy angels need horses too,
and I reckon good ones are hard to find,
But God promised he would take good care of you,
and that eased my worried mind.
The idea of you being gone brings a tear to my eye,
but I know you are better off grazing in red clover belly high.
I still wear the buckle that you and me won,
and without your help it couldn't have been done.
I know you will do the best you can do
and you will make a fine mount for God's buckaroos.
Happy trails until we meet again, I
I'll say goodbye for now, to you my old friend.
