Song Description

Old cowboy in a nursing home remebers his younger days.

Lyrics

I remember back to the days
When the wide open range was my stage
All I have left now are memories of a happier bygone age

Over the prairies and over the hills with my trusty horse I would ride
Being a cowboy's a hard lonely life
But I always had Champion by my side

Through the window s for hours I gaze the days drift by all the same
All I have left now are memories but I'd trade them all just for 1 day
To be back in the saddle back in my prime but you know
we just can't turn back time I still remember like yesterday
When Champion took his last ride

As I looked into his big brown eyes he knew it was time to say goodbye But he'll be waiting in that cowboy heaven in the sky
with Tony and Trigger by his side

Days full of game shows and pain killing pills
And nurses who don't know my name
I'm haunted by faces and far away places that I'll never see again
I miss the cold desert nights and the campfires so bright
Under the stars and the moon A few glowing embers are all
that remain Champion I'll be there soon
