Horses in Heaven Songtext
von Kylie Frey

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 rounding up a herd of cattle
Or going for eight in his old bronc saddle
Or teaching a young buck a hard-learned well-earned lesson
I don't know if he′s roaming around just to pass the time
Somewhere up there on the other side
Checking a fence line just as the sun is settin′
But y'all I′m sure that he's riding Horses in Heaven


Stubborn, strong, thicker skin
I′m who I am 'cause of him
Teaching this girl all that cowboy stuff
And you may say, "May he rest in peace"
But he ain′t resting if you ask me
If I know him, he's up there kicking up dust

I don't know if he′s rounding up a herd of cattle
Or going for eight in his old bronc saddle
Or teaching a young buck a hard-learned well-earned lesson
I don′t know if he's roaming around just to pass the time
Somewhere up there on the other side
Checking a fence line just as the sun is settin′
But y'all I′m sure that he's riding Horses in Heaven

Well, I think the angels must′ve wanted a helping hand
And they needed a cowboy, not just any man

I don't know if he's rounding up a herd of cattle
Or going for eight in his old bronc saddle
Or teaching a young buck a hard-learned well-earned lesson
I don′t know if he′s roaming around just to pass the time
Somewhere up there on the other side
Checking a fence line just as the sun is settin'
But y′all I'm sure that he′s riding Horses in Heaven

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
