Horses in Heaven (feat. Randy Houser)

Grandpa taught me how to ride

On a buckskin mare when I was five

He told me the way of life was in my blood

And I learned the ropes, how to hold the reins

When I got thrown, had to hide the pain

He'd give me the eye, and I'd get back up

And these days

I don't know if he's roundin' up a herd of cattle

Or goin' for eight in his old-bronc saddle

Or teachin' a young buck a hard learned, well-earned lesson

I don't know if he's roamin' around just to pass the time

Somewhere up there on the other side

Checkin' a fence line just as the sun is settin'

But y'all, I'm sure that he's ridin' horses in Heaven

Stubborn, strong, thicker skin

I'm who I am 'cause of him

Teachin' this girl all that cowboy stuff

And you may say, may he rest in peace

But he ain't restin' if you ask me

If I know him, he's up there kickin' up dust

I don't know if he's roundin' up a herd of cattle

Or goin' for eight in his old-bronc saddle

Or teachin' a young buck a hard learned, well-earned lesson

I don't know if he's roamin' around just to pass the time

Somewhere up there on the other side

Checkin' a fence line just as the sun is settin'

But y'all, I'm sure that he's ridin' horses in Heaven

Oh, I think the angels must have wanted a helpin' hand

And they needed a cowboy, not just any man

I don't know if he's roundin' up a herd of cattle

Or goin' for eight in his old-bronc saddle

Or teachin' a young buck a hard learned, well-earned lesson

I don't know if he's roamin' around just to pass the time

Somewhere up there on the other side

Checkin' a fence line just as the sun is settin'

But y'all, I'm sure that he's ridin' horses in Heaven

Oh, Grandpa taught me how to ride

On a buckskin mare when I was five

He told me the way of life was in my blood
